Question

please help me

Answer 1

@perl is familier with it! :-)

Answer 2

Very bad question. FAR too subjective. Measure the radial width of the crust vs. the total radius.

Answer 3

@perl knows this

Answer 4

what is the radius of this pizza, or the diameter

Answer 5

it is 16 inches diameter

Answer 6

large

Answer 7

medium is 12 inches diameter

Answer 8

ya

Answer 9

and we need to cut off the top

Answer 10

yup

Answer 11

we can make a crude approximation
we have an isosceles triangle

Answer 12

ok

Answer 13

Area of crust cut off = total area of sector - area of isosceles triangle

Answer 14

Area of sector = 1/6 * π r^2 , since we have 6 slices

Answer 15

Area of isosceles triangle, this is going to be an equilateral triangle , since the vertex angle is 360/6 = 60 , and the base angles are congruent

Answer 16

you can pick any of the 6 triangles, i just chose that one

Answer 17

ok

Answer 18

what is the radius?

Answer 19

radius = diameter / 2 = 8

Answer 21

so the diameter is 16

Answer 22

sorry, diameter is twice the radius

Answer 23

radius is half the diameter

Answer 24

the area of crust cut off is 26.48.

Answer 25

AM i right

Answer 26

nope

Answer 27

Area of crust cut off = total area of sector - area of isosceles triangle
A= 1/6*pi(8)^2 - 60

Answer 28

whats the formula for the area of an equilateral triangle with side `a`

Answer 29

27.71

Answer 30

A= 1/6*pi(8)^2 - √(3)/ 4 (8)^2

Answer 31

yes thats correct

Answer 32

ok I got it

Answer 33

the area of the segment cut off is 5.8

Answer 34

Am i right?

Answer 35

yes, but note that this an approximation, since a pizza crust can sometimes be thick
We solved the 'ideal' problem

Answer 36

ok thanks :-)

Answer 37

this is what we found exactly http://prntscr.com/7a5bjm

Answer 38

if we cut it that way

Answer 39

so that cut approximates removing the crust

Answer 40

To find the isosceles, why did u divide 360/6

Answer 41

Since the triangle is 180
