Answer:

dale is not correct

the correct angle is 30 degrees

Explanation:

A cake is shaped like a circle

the total sum of angles in a circle is 360 degrees

If Dale and 2 friends share one fourth of a cake, the total angles they share = (1/4) X 360 = 90 degrees

If the 3 friends share the cake equally, the angles each get = (1/3) x 90 = 30 degrees

the correct angle is 30 degrees and not 45 degrees. Thus, Dale is wrong
