You are creating a wedding cake for a couple. The couple has
already picked out a design that they like. The cake is composed
of three tiers. Each tier is a square prism. The bottom tier has a
length of 20 inches. The second tier has a length of 14 inches and
the top tier has a length of 8 inches. Each tier has a height of 6
inches. The surface of the entire cake will need to be covered in
frosting. How many cans of frosting will you need to buy, if each
can covers 250 square inches?
Calculate the surface area of the wedding cake.
Remember, frosting will not be placed on the bottom of the tiers.
Determine how many cans of frosting you will need.

Han has a thin rectangular sheet of paper. Its area is 450 square inches. He folds it into thirds, and then he folds the resulting rectangle into thirds again.
Han believes that after two rounds of folding, the visible area of the folded paper will be 150 square inches or one-third of the original area. Do you agree? Explain your reasoning.
What is the visible area of the paper, in square inches, after 4 rounds of folding? Explain or show your reasoning.

Achilles will keep cutting the distance in half but will never catch the tortoise. The table shows Zeno’s reasoning.

The area of the printed material on the poster (that is, the area between the margins) is fixed at 384 cm?. In order to print as many posters as you can, you have to find the dimensions of the poster with the smallest total area. This way, you will be able to save a significant amount in production cost and allot this for your other business needs. You are to present your computations to your accountant for counterchecking after which your graphic artist will work on the final design of the poster.arrow_forward
