If 14 human beings are ingesting 3 slices, that is a entire of 40 two slices(14x3). then you definately divide 12 with the help of 8 through fact there are in basic terms 8 slices per pizza. You get 5.25. You cant prepare dinner 5.25 of a pizza so Beth would desire to prepare dinner 6 pizzas. wish this helped!

You might be able to use calculus for this answer.

Half of the pie could be described as x^2 + y^2 = 18

Set the integral
⌠-A
⌡ √(18-x^2) dx =
-18

⌠A
⌡ √(18-x^2) dx
-A

Solve for A. See if that works.

U have to make 2 equal (as lenght) cuts , to the pizza .
The lengh of each cut is 36 cm *sin(x\2) where x is the solution to
pi\3=pi \ (360degrees\x) - sin(X)\2

12 cm. divide 36 by 3

area=pi*r*r=3.14*18*18=1017.36 sq. cm.
so, pizza to be cut at two portions so that 3 pieces of pizza can be made. for equal portions one has to cut having area=1017.36/3=339.12 sq.cm
339.12 sq.cm=3.14*r*r
sqrt 339.12/3.14=r=108=10.39cm

Let radius be r

ir^2/2 - r^2sin(i)/2 = r^2sin(i)+(pi-i)r^2

Solve for i which is the angle subtended at the center by one of the chords.
