Question

Halie is a perfectionist and wants each piece of her cake to be exactly the same area. If the diameter of her cake is 12 in and she wants to cut it into 8 pieces, what is the area of each piece of cake

Answer 1

radius (r)

diameter (d)

 

For a circle such as the top of the cake r = 1/2 d = 1/2 x 12 in = 6 in

So r = 6 in

 

The area of the top of the cake = pi r²  = 3.14 x 6² in  = 3.14 x 36 in² = 113 in²

 

So to get 8 pieces of the same area, simply divide the area by 8 pieces

 

113 in² / 8 pieces   = 14.125 in² per piece 

Answer 2

The area of each piece of cake will be the area of the cake divided by eight.
