Answer 1

An apple pie has a 12-inch diameter and the angle of one slice is 60 degrees. What is the area of that slice of pie?

Answer: This problem is simple. To find the area of that slice of pie we will need to do the following: radius = diameter / 2. Therefore by replacing the values we will get 12 /2 = 6. Finally we use this formula and solve for the answer Area = πr²Θ / 360. The correct answer you should get is 18.84 in².

I hope it helps, Regards.

Answer 2

R = 6 in;
60° = 1/6 · 360°
The area of the slice of pie:
A = 1/6 · r² · π
A = 1/6 · 6² · 3.14 = 18.84 in²
