Sam cut the pic into 6 sides
To find out how many slices Sam cut the pie into, we need to divide the total angle of a full circle by the angle measure of each slice.
In this case, we know that the total angle of a full circle is 360 degrees. We can divide this total angle by the angle measure of each slice (72 degrees) to get the number of slices.
So, to find the number of slices, we can do:
360 degrees รท 72 degrees = 5 slices
Therefore, Sam cut the pie into 5 equal slices.
