Answer 2

Answer 3

the radius of the circle is 6
so area of the whole pizza is pi * 6^2 = ?

now you need to find out how many pieces of pizza are in the whole pizza

this equals 360/45 = x

so divide the area of the whole pizza by x and you'll get it.

Answer 4

113.04 is area of whole pizza

Answer 5

8 pieces

Answer 6

so the answer would be 14.13

Answer 7

right so area of 1 pizza clice = 113.04 / 8

Answer 8

14.13

Answer 9

right

Answer 10

then I have to do this for my next part of the questionFind the area of the pizza without the crust. We can use our knowledge of triangles for this step. Given that the height of the triangle is 5.5 in. and the base of the triangle is 5 in., calculate the area. Show all of you work

Answer 11

what did you use for pi , 3.14?

Answer 12

i got the answer too Area of a triangle = ½ base x height
Area of triangle = ½ 5 x 5.5
Area of triangle = 13.75 in squared

Answer 13

looks good

Answer 14

thn can you help me with the are of the crust?
would i just subtract 13.75 from 14.13 to get the answer?

Answer 15

yes i used 3.14 for pi

Answer 16

yes

Answer 17

so the are is only .38?

Answer 18

right

Answer 19

that seems really small though

Answer 20

i got 113.097 for the area of whole pizza because i used pi on my calculator but if you usually use 3.14 in class thats ok.

Answer 21
