Karen ate a 70 degree section of her birthday pie with a diameter of 12 inches. What is the area of the section of the pie that is leftover?

Respuesta :

Answer:

21.98in²

Step-by-step explanation:

The section of the birthday pie that Karen ate forms a sector.

The central angle of this sector is 70°

The diameter is 12 inches.

This means the radius which is half of the diameter is 6 inches.

The area of the section that is leftover is given by:

[tex] = \frac{ \theta}{360 \degree} \times \pi \: {r}^{2} [/tex]

We substitute to get:

[tex] = \frac{70}{360} \times 3.14 \times {6}^{2} [/tex]

[tex] = \frac{7}{36} \times 3.14 \times 36 = 7 \times 3.14 \\ = 21.98 {in}^{2} [/tex]
