A pizza is cut into twelve pieces. Describe the steps you would take to find the area of one slice of the pizza.
Area of circle = (pi)r²
pizza is in 12 sections
so multiply pi by the raduis squared and then divide that answer by 12
Answer:
\(A=\frac{\pi r^{2}}{12}\)
Step-by-step explanation:
Given : A pizza is cut into twelve pieces.
Describe : The steps you would take to find the area of one slice of the pizza.
Solution :
Pizza is in the shape of a circle.
Area of circle is \(A=\pi r^{2}\)
A pizza is cut into 12 pieces.
i.e, there are 12 sections
Area of pizza became \(A=\frac{\pi r^{2}}{12}\)
The area of one slice of the pizza is
\(A=\frac{\pi r^{2}}{12}\)
The first step would be \(\frac{1}{12}\) times the area of pizza.
