Q:

What is the area of the slice of pie that was cut, rounded to the nearest hundredth? 79.09 ft285.31 ft297.23 ft298.83 ft2

Accepted Solution

A:
To find the area of the slice of pie, you will represent the part of the pie as 37/360 because this is the fractional part that was cut.  Multiply this by the total area of the circle to get the area of this one slice.

A = 37/360 x pi x r^2
       37/360 x 3.14 x 17.5^2
A = 98.8 square feet

The approximate area of the slice was 98.8 square feet.  That is one big pie!!
