11.4. The base of a right prism is a quadrilateral inscribed in a circle with a radius of $25 \mathrm{~cm}$. The areas of the lateral faces are in the ratio 7:15:20:24, and the length of the diagonal of the largest lateral face is 52 cm. Calculate the surface area of the prism. (7 points)
# Solution The sides of the base are $7 \mathrm{x}, 15 \mathrm{x}, 20 \mathrm{x}, 24 \mathrm{x}$. Since $(7 \mathrm{x})^{2}+(24 \mathrm{x})^{2}=(15 \mathrm{x})^{2}+(20 \mathrm{x})^{2}$, two angles of the base are right angles. $(15 \mathrm{x})^{2}+(20 \mathrm{x})^{2}=50^{2}, \mathrm{x}=2$. The sides of the base are $1...

8.5. Kuzya cut a convex paper 67-gon along a straight line into two polygons, then similarly cut one of the two resulting polygons, then one of the three resulting ones, and so on. In the end, he got eight $n$-gons. Find all possible values of $n$.
Answer: $n=11$. Solution. A straight-line cut can be of three types: from side to side, from a vertex to a side, and from a vertex to a vertex. Therefore, after one cut, the total number of sides of the polygons increases by 4, 3, or 2, respectively. Kuzya made 7 cuts, so the number of sides added is at least 14 but n...

Answer: 31. Solution. Along each of the three sides of the letter "П", there will be 11 points. At the same time, the "corner" points are located on two sides, so if 11 is multiplied by 3, the "corner" points will be counted twice. Therefore, the total number of points is $11 \cdot 3-2=31$.

Problem 8.8. In how many ways can all natural numbers from 1 to 200 be painted in red and blue so that the sum of any two different numbers of the same color is never equal to a power of two?
Answer: 256. ## Solution. Lemma. If the sum of two natural numbers is a power of two, then the powers of 2 in the prime factorizations of these two numbers are the same. Proof of the lemma. Let the sum of the numbers $a=2^{\alpha} \cdot a_{1}$ and $b=2^{\beta} \cdot b_{1}$, where $a_{1}$ and $b_{1}$ are odd, be $2^{...

Answer: 15. Solution. For the product to be divisible by 5, it is necessary and sufficient that one of the factors is divisible by 5. Let $n$ be the chosen number divisible by 5, then its pair should be $n-11$ or $n+11$, and both chosen numbers must be natural numbers. Clearly, for $n=5,10,40,45,50$ there is only one ...
