Question

Sam cut a pie into equal pieces there are only 3 slices left. The angle measure for the 3 slices is 72 degrees. How many slices did Sam cut the pie

Answer 1

3x = 72
x = 24

Each slice is 24 degrees.

A pie's degrees = 360


`360 / 24 = 15`
Sam cut 15 slices of the pie.

Hope this helps. - M
