Mr. McGowan made an apple pie with a diameter of
10 inches. He cut the pie into 6 equal slices. Find
the approximate area of each slice.
A 3 in2
B 13 in2
C 16 in2
D 52 in2
Read the Item
You can use the diameter to find the total area of the pie
and then divide that result by 6 to find the area of each
slice.
Solve the Item
Find the area of the whole pie.
A = πr2
Area of a circle
A = π(5)2
Replace r with 5.
A ≈ 78
Multiply.
Find the area of one slice:
78 ÷ 6 = 13
Answer: B
