Question

A giant pie is created in an attempt to break a world record for baking. The pie is shown below:


What is the area of the slice of pie that was cut, rounded to the nearest hundredth?

Answer 1

Okay, so first I find the area, which I got as 225π.

Now the slice is a portion of a total 360 degrees..which I can write as \(\sf \dfrac{48}{360}\).

Now I multiply that to 225π:

\(\sf 225 \pi \times \dfrac{48}{360} \rightarrow 706.858347 \times 0.133333333 \approx 94.25\)

Answer 2

Correct..?

Answer 3

absolutely correct :)

Answer 4

ou're essentially finding area of sector

Answer 5

*you're

Answer 6

Hmm..but that doesn't seem to be one of my options..the closest one is 91.98..

Answer 7

Area of sector :
\(\Large \dfrac{\theta }{360}\pi r^2 \)

Answer 8

theta = 42
r =15

Answer 9

What are the choices?

Answer 10

you still get 94 with that ?
if so its correct

Answer 11

78.13 ft2
82.43 ft2
86.31 ft2
91.98 ft2

Answer 12

Wait a sec, it's 42 bloody degrees haha

Answer 13

you used 48
instead of 42

thats why!

Answer 14

LOL

I'm so stupid..

Answer 15

Now I get 82.47..

Answer 16

Which is closest to 82.43..I'm going with that.. lol

Answer 17

good! :)

Answer 18

Good work.
