1) Find maximum how many regions can be divided by 11 lines.

🔽 Show Answer
Answer: 67; \( \frac{11 \times 12}{2} + 1 = 67 \)

2) Find maximum how many open regions can be created by nine lines in a plane.

🔽 Show Answer
Answer: 18; \(2 \times 9 = 18\)

3) Find the maximum closed area inside a square created by 15 lines.

🔽 Show Answer
Answer: 121; all regions \( \frac{15 \times 16}{2} + 1 \) are closed.

4) 4 lines divide a square of side 5 cm into equal area parts. Find the perimeter of each part.
(a) 12 cm    (b) 14 cm    (c) 5 cm    (d) Cannot be determined

🔽 Show Answer
Answer: (d) Cannot be determined – orientation can vary.

5) Maximum how many closed regions would be created by 8 lines.

🔽 Show Answer
Answer: 21; \( \left(\frac{8 \times 9}{2} + 1\right) - 16 = 21 \)

6) In a plane, there are 10 lines: 5 are parallel and the other 5 are parallel to each other but not to the first set. Find max regions created.

🔽 Show Answer
Answer: 36; \(6 \times 6 = 36\)

7) 15 lines in a plane: 5 parallel to each other in 3 different sets. Max number of regions?

🔽 Show Answer
Answer: 91; \(6 \times 6 + 11 \times 5 = 91\)

8) 15 lines: 5 parallel, 5 parallel (not to the first), and 5 not parallel to each other or other sets. Max regions?

🔽 Show Answer
Answer: 101; \( \left(\frac{5 \times 6}{2} + 1\right) + 6 \times 5 + 11 \times 5 = 101 \)

9) Minimum number of identical squares to completely cover a \(16 \times 12\) rectangle.

🔽 Show Answer
Answer: 12; \( \frac{16 \times 12}{4 \times 4} = 12 \)

10) Minimum number of squares (not necessarily identical) to completely cover a \(16 \times 12\) rectangle.

🔽 Show Answer
Answer: 4; \( [16 \div 12] + [12 \div 4] = 3 \)

11) Minimum identical equilateral triangles needed to completely cover a \(18 \times 14\) parallelogram.

🔽 Show Answer
Answer: 126; \( \frac{18 \times 14}{2 \times 2} = 126 \)

12) Minimum number of equilateral triangles (could be different) to cover a \(18 \times 14\) parallelogram.

🔽 Show Answer
Answer: 12; \( [18 \div 14] + [14 \div 4] + [4 \div 2] = 6 \Rightarrow 6 \times 2 = 12 \)
