That would be 1/2 * 4/6
= 1/2 * 2/3 = 1/3 (answer)
I got work on my B I got a A
<span>A hexagon is a good choice for a problem like this.
If you draw a regular hexagon, you will see that the distance across it must be the same 14 1/8" to clear the 14" pizza...that distance must be side to side not vertex to vertex...
That 14 1/8" distance is the length of two apothems.
Thus the apothem is 7 1/16".</span>
To find the area of a quarter circle, you simply take a quarter of a full circle. As all quarters are equal, this means that the formula would be <span><span>π<span><span>r2</span>4</span></span><span>π<span><span>r2</span>4</span></span></span><span>. But wait, there's more. If you notice, </span><span><span>π<span><span>r2</span>4</span>=π<span><span>r2</span>2</span></span><span>π<span><span>r2</span>4</span>=π<span><span>r2</span>2</span></span></span><span>. This coincides with the circle formula, just with half the radius. Notice anything? A quarter of a circle can be calculated in the same way a circle a quarter the size can. This means that a quarter circle is equal to a circle a quarter size. In this same way, a ninth of a circle is equal to a circle of one ninth the size.</span>
