Answer:

13.09 square inches

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:

$(25\pi)/(6)=13.09$

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