depends on how you cut it|dw:1347896029957:dw|for example

then the set can be x/x>4 for the no.of pieces...

what is the cake's shape? square? circle? elephant?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

circle

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the hint here is , equal lines and size of pieces , which is only possible if you make the cuts across centre (i.e. thro. centre of circle) satisfying the initial condition of equal line segments (line segments are part of a line )
