Question

Ms. Michaels made an apple pie with a radius of 5 inches. She cut the pie into six equal slices. Find the approximate area of each side.

Answer 1

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
