OpenStudy (anonymous):

does that "d" refer to the pie's diameter?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes that is the diameter

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok, so you know the radius is...?

OpenStudy (jdoe0001):

\(\bf \textit{area of a circle, or a circular pie for that matter}=\cfrac{{\color{brown}{ \theta}}\pi {\color{brown}{ r}}^2}{360}\)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

176.71

OpenStudy (anonymous):

then u take 45/360 and times it bythe area of the pi (wink)

OpenStudy (jdoe0001):

well. ahemm area of a SEGMENT of a circle that is =)

OpenStudy (jdoe0001):

or SECTOR

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thx

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yep.. what @Jaydog477 said... actually using smaller numbers, just take 1/8 of the whole area of the pie.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so it'd be 22.08

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I was gonna say which is 1/8

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes zack
