Homework Help: Shapes

Posted by MattsRiceBowl on Wednesday, February 20, 2008 at 9:04pm.

I know this seems like a somewhat silly question, but what shape is a pizza slice?

I know most of us are going to say "triangle." Is it a triangle? Can a triangle have a curved line in it or do all lines have to be straight?

I know we might say curvalinear triangle, but then don't all the sides have to curve?

I honestly don't know. I figure someone on here might know.

It is a "sector" of a circle with two radii and a small piece of the circle that we call a sector.

Damon is right.
