Answer:

40degrees

Explanation:

Complete question

four pieces of pie were eaten from a pie cut into equal parts. The 5 pieces that remained created an angle that measured 200°. What was the angle measure of one piece of pie

The total angle in the pie is 360degrees (since it is circular in nature)

Remaining angle = 360 - angle created by the last piece

Remaining angle = 360 - 200

Remaining angle = 160

Since the remaining angle is divide into 4 parts

angle measure of one piece of pie = 160/4

angle measure of one piece of pie = 40degrees
