Question

Formula to find what is the maximum number of pieces that a circular pie can be divided into by four linear cuts?

Answer 1

Hi

Guess u would have found this soln by this time.. 
I faced this problem in GC test and got it wrong g
So when i searched i found soln in BTG .. here it is...


We start off with 1 piece of pie. 

Draw the 1st line, you add 1 more piece to the pie for a total of 2 pieces. 
Draw the 2nd line, you add 2 more pieces to the pie for a total of 4 pieces. 
Draw the 3rd line, you add 3 more pieces to the pie for a total of 7 pieces. 
Draw the 4th line, you add 4 more pieces to the pie for a total of 11 pieces. 

So the nth line will always add n more pieces to the pie. 

A 5th line would give us 11 + 5 = 16 pieces. 
A 6th line would give us 16 + 6 = 22 pieces. 


I never knew one Pizza can be sliced into these many pieces 

Also i drew Soln for 2 n 3 lines ... PFA...
I guess it ll help u...
