Question

Use the circle to represent the following situation and show how you came up with the answer.

Answer 1

Answer:

Angle of slice (θ) = 172° (Approx.)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Area of pizza slice = 16 inch²

Total area of pizza = 33.49 inch²

Find:

Angle of slice (θ)

Computation:

Area of circle = [π][r²]

Area of pizza slice = [π][r²]

[π][r²] = 33.49

[3.14][r²] = 33.49

Radius = 3.26 inch (Approx.)

Area of sector = [θ/360][π][r²]

16 = [θ/360][3.14][3.26²]

16 = [θ/360][3.14][10.6276]

16 = [θ/360][33.37]

Angle of slice (θ) = 172° (Approx.)
