A circle is drawn to represent a pizza with a 12-inch​ diameter. The circle is cut into eight congruent pieces. What is the length of any one piece of this circle?

Respuesta :

Answer:

6 inch

Step-by-step explanation:

half the diameter to find the length

The outer edge length of one piece of the cut circle is  3π / 2 inches

Diameter of a circle

The diameter of a circle is a line that passes through the centre and meets the circumference at opposite ends.

The circle representing the pizza is 12 inches in diameter. The radius is half of the diameter. Therefore,

radius = 12 × 0.5 = 6 inches

The circle is cut into 8 congruent pieces. The length of the outer edges of any one piece of the circle can be calculated as follows;

circumference of the circle = 2πr

circumference of the circle = 2 × π × 6 = 12π inches

Now let's divide it into 8 part.

edge length of one piece of the circle = 12π / 8 = 3π / 2
