Answer:

The approximate area of one slice is 21.21 in².

Explanation:

Area = πr²

d = 18 in

r = 18 in/2

r = 9 inches

Solve for the area of the pie

A = π(9in)²

A = 81π in²

OR

A = 254.47 in²

Since the pie is cut into 12 slices, we will divide the area by 12

A = 81π in²/12

A = 6.75π in² ---in terms of pi

OR

A = 254.47 in²

A = 21.21 in²
