Question

Ms. Michaels made an apple pie with a radius of 5 inches. She cut the pie into six equal slices. Find the approximate area of each side.

Answer 1

Answer:

13.09 square inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Pie is a circle and area of circle is given by  $\pi r^2$

Total area of pie = $\pi r^2\\=\pi(5)^2\\=25\pi$

This is divided into 6 equal pieces, so each piece has an area of:

$\frac{25\pi}{6}=13.09$

Thus, approximate area of each side (slice) is 13.09 square inches
