Question: How would you cut a rectangular cake into two equal pieces when a rectangular piece has already been cut out of it? The cut piece can be of any size and orientation. You are only allowed to make one straight cut.
Solution-
You can cut the cake by the line joining the center of the original cake and the center of the removed piece, this will divide the rectangle in exactly two pieces. We can use the fact that “any line passing through the center of a rectangle divides the rectangle in two equal pieces
