You have a slice of pizza with a central angle that measures 140° that you want to share with your friend. She cuts it through the vertex into two slices. You choose one slice that measures 60°. How many degrees are in the other slice?
the other slice will be 80 degrees since the other is 60.
Find the area of the top of a slice of pizza pie with a diameter of 18 inches cut into 8 slices
Mathematics cct work
To find out the number of degrees in the other slice, you can subtract the measure of the slice you have chosen (60°) from the total central angle of the pizza (140°).
The formula to find the other slice's measure is as follows:
Other slice measure = Total central angle - Chosen slice measure
Let's plug in the values:
Other slice measure = 140° - 60°
Calculating this, we get:
Other slice measure = 80°
Therefore, the other slice measures 80 degrees.
