a pizza with a diameter of.16 inches is cut into 10 equal sized pieces as shown below. an engineer is asked to design a box to hold a single slice of pizza. what is the length of the crust, x, of one slice of pizza? round to the nearest inch.



Answer :

First find the circumference of the whole pizza using the equation C = πd, where C is the circumference of the pizza and d is the diameter of the pizza.

C = π16in
C ≈ 50in

Then divide the circumference by the number of pieces, in this case ten, to get your final answer.

50in / 10slices = 5in of crust per slice.
