mathstudent55 · Answer

Correct.
The slice is 60 degrees.
60 degrees is what part of 360 degrees?

alones. · Answer

Since the whole pie has 360 degrees, 60 degrees would be 60/360 which is 1/6 of the pie. 
The entire pie has an area of 3.14*6^2= 113.04 
1/6 of 113.04 is 18.84

Oops, I didn't mean to give out the answer like that.

mathstudent55 · Answer

60/360 = 1/6
Since 60 out of 360 is 1/6, the area of the slice is 1/6 the area of the circle.
Use the formula for the area of a circle, and then divide by 6.
