the 6 slice of the pizza suggest that it's 3lines onlhy to cut it into pieces.
So use the 18/3 we can conclude that the diameter is 6cm then
we can know that the radius of the pizza is 3cm
Then the area is π*r*r which is 9*π

Answer:

Area of the Pizza is 28.26 cm²

Explanation:

Given:

A circular pizza is cut into 6 slices .

Total length of the cuts = 18 cm

To find : Area of the Pizza.

Since, Total length of the cuts = 18 cm

⇒ length of 6 radius = 18 cm

Length of a radius = 18/6 = 3 cm

Area of the Pizza = Area of the Circle = πr²

=
3.14*(3)^2

=
3.14*9

= 28.26 cm²

≈ 28.26 cm²

Therefore, Area of the Pizza is 28.26 cm²
