Question

A peach pie is made with 13 peaches, which are evenly distributed throughout the pie. If Joe ate one slice of pie that contained exactly 5 peaches, what wqs the angle measure of the slice to the nearest tenth of a degree?

Answer 1

Answer:

138.5°

Step-by-step explanation:

A peach pie is in the form of a circle. The sum of angles in a pie is equal to 360°.

Since there are 13 peaches evenly distributed, therefore each peach occupies 360/13 degrees.

Joe ate one slice of pie that contained exactly 5 peaches, hence:

Angle measure of slice = (number of peaches in the slice / total number of peaches) * 360°

Angle measure of slice = (5 / 13) * 360°

Angle measure of slice = 138.5°
