Which triangle has the largest area? The dots form a regular grid.

In a parallelogram ABCD, point E belongs to the side CD and point F belongs to the side BC. Show that the total red area is the same as the total blue area:

The figure below is a regular pentagram. What is larger, the black area or the blue area?

A circle was inscribed in a square, and another square was inscribed in the circle. Which area is larger, the blue or the orange one?

In a square, the midpoints of its sides were marked and some segments were drawn. There is another square formed in the centre. Find its area, if the side of the square has length 10.

In a parallelogram ABCD, point E belongs to the side AB, point F belongs to the side CD and point G belongs to the side AD. What is more, the marked red segments AE and CF have equal lengths. Prove that the total grey area is equal to the total black area.

Two numbers are given in terms of their prime factorizations: a=23×32×5 and b=2×52×72.

a) What is the greatest common divisor gcd(a,b) of these numbers?

b) What is their least common multiple lcm(a,b)?

c) Write down the prime factorization of gcd(a,b)×lcm(a,b). Then write the prime factorization of a×b. What do you notice?

Little Jimmy visited his four aunties today. Each of them prepared a cake for him and his parents. Auntie Martha made a carrot cake, Auntie Camilla made a sponge, Auntie Becky made a chocolate cake and Auntie Anne made a fudge. Jimmy would like to visit the aunties the next time when aunties all make the same cakes again. Auntie Martha makes a carrot cake every two days, Auntie Camilla makes a sponge every three days, Auntie Becky makes a chocolate cake every four days and Auntie Anne makes a fudge every seven days. What day should he pick?

a) Two numbers, a and b, are relatively prime. Their product is ab=35×72. What could these numbers be? Find all possibilities.

b) The gcd of two numbers, c and d, is 20 and their product is cd=24×53. What could these numbers be? Find all possibilities.
