Question

Now that the cake has been cut into 10 equal slices, how much space is covered by icing on the top of each piece of cake? the cake has a diameter of 9 inches.

Answer 1

The space (area) covered by icing on the top of each piece of cake is 0.636 inches squared.

What is space?

Space refers to the surface or area of an object.

The space can also refer to the distance or volume covered in a measurement.

The area of space using its diameter can be computed using the following formula.

Data and Calculations:

Diameter of cake = 9 inches

Radius = 4.5 inches (9 inches/2)

The radius of each of the ten slices = 0.45 inches (4.5/10)

Area = πr^2

where π = 22/7

r = radius

Area (space covered by the icing on the top of each piece of cake

= 22/7 x 0.45^2

= 22/7 x 0.2025

= 0.636 inches squared.

Thus, the space (area) covered by icing on the top of each piece of cake is 0.636 inches.
