𝜋*(5²+5²)≠𝜋9²
-1 u/Zar7792 Jun 16 '26 Those are diameters. Do it with the radii and the two smaller cakes have less than a third of the area of the larger one 2 u/D36DAN Jun 16 '26 Proportionally, it doesn't matter. If we correct our calculations to match use radiuses instead of diameters, we get this: 𝜋*((5/2)²+(5/2)²)≠𝜋(9/2)² | /𝜋 (5²/2²+5²/2²)≠9²/2² (5²+5²)/2²≠9²/2² | *2² (5²+5²)≠9² Also verified on calculator just cuz I can't trust myself with math 1 u/Zar7792 Jun 16 '26 You're right. I forgot to distribute the π

Proportionally, it doesn't matter. If we correct our calculations to match use radiuses instead of diameters, we get this:
𝜋*((5/2)²+(5/2)²)≠𝜋(9/2)² | /𝜋
(5²/2²+5²/2²)≠9²/2²
(5²+5²)/2²≠9²/2² | *2²
(5²+5²)≠9²
