Mathematics is a subject that we use in everyday life without even realizing it. Mathematics is used to find the shortest route to handle traffic, used when trying to find the perfect angle to hit a golf ball from, and is even used to bake cookies. Merriam Webster defines mathematics as "the science of numbers and their operations, interrelationships, combinations, generalizations, and abstractions, and of spatial configurations and their structure, measurement, transformations, and generalizations" ("Mathematics"). This same dictionary defines baking as “preparing (food, such as bread and cakes) by preparing a dough, batter, etc., and baking it in a dry heat oven” (“Baking”). Reading these two definitions it seems that these two words, however, in bread making geometry has a more important role in the presentation of the good rather than in its construction. For example, if you bake a batch of Christmas cookies, you'll use geometry to find the various shapes you want to create. You will use different sized circles to create a snowman. The snowman will be 4 inches in diameter and will decrease by half as you go up. This means that each circle in ascending order will have a diameter of 4 inches, 2 inches, and 1 inch. To calculate the number of snowmen you could fit on the same baking sheet you would first find the area of ​​the baking sheet, then the area of ​​each snowman, and then divide the area of ​​the baking sheet by the area of ​​each snowman , the quotient would be how many cookies you have. Assuming the pan is a rectangle, you multiply the length and width. In this example the area of ​​the pan is 10 x 10, which equals 100 square inches. The formula for the area of ​​a circle is pi multiplied by the diameter. After running this formula for the three individual circles, you get the numbers 12.57, 3.14, and 0.79 inches (these numbers are rounded to the nearest hundredth). Using addition, add the three numbers and get the sum of 16.5 square inches. Therefore, you may have 6.06 cookies in your pan. However, once you consider how there should be space between each cookie and that you can only use a whole number, there would be about 5 cookies baking in one. In the American standard the units of measurement are ounces or pounds, while the metric system uses grams. For every 16 ounces there is one pound, making the ratio of pounds to ounces 1:16. This means that for every pound multiply the number by 16 and that's how many ounces something weighs. For every ounce there are 30 grams, so each pound contains 450 grams. When weighing larger objects, kilograms are often used instead of grams. For every kilogram there are 1,000 grams, for every kilogram there are 2.2 pounds. In the metric system everything goes in multiples of ten ("Equivalents and
