Aline wants to slice an orange for her friends. The length of one slice from top to bottom is 6 inches. Assuming the orange was cut straight down the middle, what is the area of that orange slice?(1 point)
The area of the orange slice can be calculated using the formula for the area of a circle, which is πr^2, where r is the radius of the circle.
Since the orange slice is cut straight down the middle, the radius of the circle would be half of the diameter, which is 6 inches. Therefore, the radius, r, would be 3 inches.
Plugging the radius into the formula:
Area = π(3)^2
Area = π(9)
Area ≈ 28.27 square inches
Therefore, the area of the orange slice is approximately 28.27 square inches.
