Question

Rodney and their roommates are making homemade pizza for dinner. Rodney tells his roommates that he would like for his slice to be cut at a 100 degree angle. The pizza has a diameter of 20 inches. To the nearest tenth of an inch, find the area of Rodney's slice of pizza. Approximate pi at 3.14.

Answer 1

Area of pizza slice = 87 inches² (Approx.)

Explanation:

Given:

Angle cut of pizza = 100°

Diameter of pizza = 20 inches

Find:

Area of pizza slice

Computation:

Area of sector = [Ф / 360][π][r²]

Area of pizza slice = [100/360][3.14][(20/2)²]

Area of pizza slice = [100/360][3.14][(10)²]

Area of pizza slice = [100/360][3.14][100]

Area of pizza slice = [0.2778][3.14][100]

Area of pizza slice = 87.2292

Area of pizza slice = 87 inches² (Approx.)
