If the circumference of the entire pie is 360 degrees, what fraction of the pie is this piece?  Hint: it would be the ratio of the angle over the entire circumference.  The area of the whole pie is:

(pi)(r^2)

and "r" is the radius or half of the diameter.

is it 36pi?

So, to start off, what sraction of the pie is this piece?

anonymous · Answer

*fraction

anonymous · Answer

So, just substitute for "r" into the above equation for the area of the whole pie and then take the fraction of that that is represented by the ratio of that angle to the whole circumference.  Hopefully, you've got it now.  Nice working with you and thx for the recognition! @venom936
