10 POINTS AND BRAINLESS Jessica is bringing cupcakes to school for her birthday. She is placing them in a
rectangular box that can fit 4 more cupcakes long that it can wide. They will not all fit in
the box, so she is also bringing a bag that can hold 12 cupcakes. The amount of
cupcakes she is bringing can be represented as
2(2+4) + 12. Solve for the number of cupcakes wide and long the box will hold.

On traditional maps, earth is represented in a flat plane, or by euclidean geometry. however, a globe is a more accurate model that comes from elliptical geometry.how does a globe represent the fact that there are no parallel lines in elliptical geometry? the equator is not parallel to any other latitudinal lines. the north and south poles are never connected by a geodesic. the geodesics connecting the north and south poles never intersect. the geodesics connecting the north and south poles intersect at both of the poles.
