Francine cut a large circular cake into 12 equal .slices. what acute angle is formed by the sided of each slice
30 degrees
To find the acute angle formed by the sides of each slice, we need to divide 360 degrees (a full circle) by the number of slices, which in this case is 12.
The formula to calculate the acute angle in a regular n-sided polygon is:
Acute Angle = (360 degrees) / n
In this case, substituting n with 12:
Acute Angle = (360 degrees) / 12 = 30 degrees
Therefore, each slice of the circular cake forms an acute angle of 30 degrees.
