Annie drew a rectangle and partitioned it into $n$ rows and $k$ columns with horizontal and vertical lines. Annie knows the area of the resulting $n \cdot k$ little rectangles while Benny does not. Annie reveals the area of some of these small rectangles to Benny. Given $n$ and $k$ at least how many of the small rectangle’s areas did Annie have to reveal, if from the given information Benny can determine the areas of all the $n \cdot k$ little rectangles?
