To solve this question, let's find the surface area of the entire pie and then divide it by 6 for each slice.

The area of a circle is pi*r^2. We are given the diameter, so divide that by 2 to get the radius.



Now that you have the area, divide by 6. That is the area of each slice. The problem asks for the area of 2 slices though, so multiply that by 2.
