Question

A pizza has a radius of 10 inches. A slice is removed. The length of the crust of the missing slice is 3 inches. What is the area of the missing slice?

Answers

  1. The area of the missing slice is 15 inches ²

    How to determine the area

    From the information given, we can see that the pizza takes the form of a circle;
    Area of the missing slice takes the shape of a triangle
    Area of a triangle = 1/ 2 base × height
    base = 10 inches
    height = 3 inches
    Area of missing slice = 1/ 2 × 10 × 3
    Area = 1/ 2 × 30
    Area = 15 inches ²
    Thus, the area of the missing slice is 15 inches ²
