Suppose that wedge-shaped pieces are cut from a pie, so that the arc length along the outer crust of each piece exactly equals the radius of the piece. (a) What is the largest number of such pieces that can be cut from the pie? (b)What is the apex (in degrees) of any remaining portion of the pie ?

Question

amistre64 · Answer

when we use the radius to measure the circumference of a circle; the distance is measured in radians

And I still don't understand how to answer the question.

anonymous · Answer

radian is a measure of angle is defined as the ratio of legth of arc to its radius..radius=length of arc, so 1 radian is subtended..total there are 2pi =6.28 radians in a cirle so max total no of such pie is 6..
