You are given a box of matches. The matches are all the same length and you are not allowed to break any. With these matchsticks, you find that you can form all six possible pairs of the four regular figures: triangle, square, pentagon, and hexagon, using all the matches every time. For example, for a box containing 11 matches you can form the three pairs of figures as shown above but it is not possible to form the other three pairs: triangle and hexagon; square and pentagon; nor square and hexagon. Hence the box you are given cannot contain 11 matches What is the minimum possible number of matches you can have in the box so that you can make all possible pairs of the given shapes using all the matchsticks in each pair? Consider some other shapes with different number of sides. IS there a general rule to relate the number of matchsticks to make all the pairs and the number of sides in the shapes.

A property appraiser asks you to measure the total area of two properties that you own. A land surveyor brings measuring tape to your first property and reports that it is a square with sides of length 28.77 m. A different land surveyor goes to your second property but forgets his measuring tape. Instead, he uses a wooden board, which he had previously measured to be roughly 1 meter long. He measures the second property to be a rectangle of length 32 m and width 19 m. What should you report to the property appraiser to properly reflect the uncertainty in your measurements?
