Question

Elizabeth has one third of her pizza left. She cut it into three equal slices. What is the angle measure of each of the three slices of pizza?

Answer 1

40 degrees.

Explanation:

A circle has a total of 360 degrees.

If a third of the circle remains, it will have one third that amount.

360 / 3 = 120

So 120 degrees remain.

If the remaining amount is cut into three slices, each slice will be one third of that amount.

120 / 3 = 40

Each slice has an angle measure of 40 degrees.
