A Slice of Cake

Geometry Level 2

A slice of a cylindrical cake has a 30 30 degree central angle. The cake has a radius 5 5 centimeters and a height of 30 30 centimeters. The volume of the slice of cake can be expressed as K π K\pi . Find K to the nearest whole number.


The answer is 63.

V = (30/360)*(πr²h) = 62.5π => k = 63

62.5

Since a circle has a 360 angle of rotation, then 360/30 = 12 meaning you will have 12 pieces of cakes having that dimensions

so to get the volume of the cake then V= 1/12 x pi x r x r x h = 1/12 x pi x 5x5x30 = 62.5 x pi = 63 x pi

Volume =pi * radius^2 * height* angle / 360

I sent a request clarification but it seemed that there's a misconception about that.

I just want to say, please complete your problem with the required unit of volume. Thanks...

Anyway, the solution of this problem is as following V = 3 0 36 0 π r 2 h = 1 12 π ( 5 ) 2 ( 30 ) = 62.5 π cm 3 . \begin{aligned} V&=\frac{30^\circ}{360^\circ}\pi r^2h\\ &=\frac{1}{12}\pi (5)^2(30)\\ &=62.5\pi\;\text{cm}^3.\\ \end{aligned} Thus, K = 63 \lfloor\,K\,\rceil=63 .

Ok, I clarified it. Thanks for the report.
