Answer:
x ≈ 28.8°
Step-by-step explanation:
Using the sine ratio in the right triangle
sin x = 
= 
= 
, then
x = 
( ) ≈ 28.8° ( to the nearest tenth )
Step-by-step explanation:
First, the pizza is 18 inches in diameter, so
and, because the radium is half of the diameter,
<u>Note that the units are inches.</u>
Using the equation
where a is the area of a circle, we know that the area of the whole pizza is approx.254.5 square inches. Divide by 8 to find the area of 1/8 of a pizza. Each slice will have an area of approx. 32 square inches. For a precise result, the answer is
where a(s) is the area of a slice of pizza, and s is the total number of slices, given they are equal in size.
No, these equations are not equivalent.
1/5, or one fifth, is part of a whole. Imagine you have a pie, cut into five pieces, and your friend comes over and eats four pieces, so now you have one of the five original pieces. That's what you have here.
5/5, or five fifths, is a whole. any number divided by itself is automatically one, so it is like making another pie and cutting it into five pieces, only this time no one eats any of it because it's burned or something. At the end, you have five pieces of pie
5/1 is actually just another way of writing plain old 5. To keep the pie example rolling, you have five pies, and no one eats any of these either, so they are all yours. You have 5 pies divided between one person, so at the end of the day you have 5 whole pies.
Hope that helped!
Divide the numerator with the denominator for each, and that's all really... Good luck!!
