Question

A sweet potato pie with a diameter of 8 inches is cut into 6 equal slices. To

the nearest square inch, what is the area of each slice?
OA. 34 in²
OB. 8 in2
OC. 14 in²
OD. 4 in²

Answer 1

Answer: 8 in²

Explanation:

A diameter of a sweet potato pie is 8 inches

Hence a radius of a sweet potato pie is 8/2=4 inches

A=πr²

π=3.14159≈3

r=4 inches

Hence,

A=3(4²)

A=3(4*4)

A=3(16)

A=48 in²

The area of each slice is:

48:6=

8 in²
