Question

Emily is making tea for her six friends. She is using a slice of lemon. The radius of the lemon slice is 1 inch. If Emily divided the lemon slice equally, like the diagram below, what is the area of each portion of lemon slice after she divides it? Leave your answer in terms of pi.

Answer 1

There is no diagram, but if the lemon slice is in the shape of a circle, then the area of a circle = πr², where r is the radius. If she is cutting the slice into six even sections, then each section's area will equal 1/6 of the area of the entire slice.
