Mrs. Child bakes pumpkin pies using a deep‐dish pie plate with a 9 inch diameter. If she cuts her pies into 12 equal slices and you eat two slices for dessert, what is the total length of the crust you have eaten?

Respuesta :

Answer:[tex]4.71\ in.[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

diameter of pie is [tex]d=9\ inch[/tex]

radius [tex]r=\frac{9}{2}=4.5\ inch[/tex]

If child divides pie into 12 equal parts then each part subtends an angle of

[tex]=\frac{360^{\circ}}{12}=30^{\circ}[/tex] at the center

and crust length of single piece is

[tex]=\frac{30}{360}\times 2\pi r[/tex]

[tex]=\frac{1}{12}\times 2\times \pi \times 4.5[/tex]

[tex]=2.35\ in.[/tex]

For two slice length is [tex]2\times 2.35=4.71\ in.[/tex]

Thus the total length of crust eaten is [tex]=4.71\ in.[/tex]
