Maria cut a pizza into 8 equal slices. She put a slice of pizza on 3 plates. What is the measure of the angle for the slices that are left?
Let me know if my answer is correct my answer is 46 or 40 which one is it 46 or 40
Use same process as indicated in your later post.
Maria cut a pizza into 8 equal slices. She put a slice of pizza on 3 plates. What is the measure of the angle for the slices that are left?
45 degrees
90 degrees is the answer
To find the measure of the angle for the slices that are left, we need to determine how many slices are left.
Maria started with 8 equal slices and put 1 slice on each of the 3 plates. Therefore, she put a total of 1 * 3 = 3 slices on the plates.
To find the number of slices left, we subtract the slices on the plates from the total number of slices: 8 - 3 = 5 slices left.
Now, we need to find the measure of the angle for each of the remaining slices. Since Maria cut the pizza into equal slices, the measure of the angle for each slice is 360 degrees divided by the number of slices.
Therefore, the measure of the angle for the slices that are left is 360 degrees divided by 5 slices, which equals 72 degrees per slice.
