Question

A pizza is cut into twelve pieces. Describe the steps you would take to find the area of one slice of the pizza.

Answer 1

Area of circle = (pi)r²
pizza is in 12 sections
so multiply pi by the raduis squared and then divide that answer by 12

Answer 2

`A=(\pi r^(2))/(12)`

Explanation:

Given : A pizza is cut into twelve pieces.

Describe : The steps you would take to find the area of one slice of the pizza.

Solution :

Pizza is in the shape of a circle.

Area of circle is
`A=\pi r^(2)`

A pizza is cut into 12 pieces.

i.e, there are 12 sections

Area of pizza became
`A=(\pi r^(2))/(12)`

The area of one slice of the pizza is

`A=(\pi r^(2))/(12)`

The first step would be
`(1)/(12)` times the area of pizza.
