Given the statement:
A circular pizza that is 10 inches in diameter is cut into 5 equal slices.
Determine the area of one slice.
Solution:
Divide 10 by 5, to determine the diameter of each cut.
= 10/5
= 2 inches
Divide 2 by 2 to determine the radius.
= 2/2
= 1 inch
Formula for the area of the circle:
A = pi r^2
Substitute the value of 1 inch to the formula.
A = pi ( 1 inch)^2
A = pi in^2
A = 3.14 in^2
Final answer:
A = 3.14 in^2
