After dinner, your aunt serves slices of apple pie. Would you rather have a slice with a central angle equal to
(a) one radian
(b) 60 degrees?
You must choose (a) or (b) and explain why you chose one over the other.

Respuesta :

Answer:

b) 60 degrees because one radian is approximately 57.29 degrees so you'd probably go with 60 because you'd want more pie

Answer:

b) should be preferred

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that after dinner, your aunt serves slices of apple pie.

Central angle of a circle determines the area of the sector

Slice of apple pie here represents the sector area.

Area of a sector = [tex]\frac{x}{360} (\pi r^2)[/tex]

i.e. when central angle increases area also increases.

Comparing one radian and 60 degrees, we get

60 degrees = [tex]\frac{60}{180}\pi =\frac{3.14}{3} \\=1.0467[/tex] radians

Since 60 degrees is more

b) should be preferred
