To estimate the area of the piece of pie, we will use the formula for the area of a triangle:
Area = 1/2 * base * height
Substitute the values for the base and height:
Area = 1/2 * 2 * 6
Area = 1/2 * 12
Area = 6 square units
So, we estimate that the area of the piece of pie we ate is 6 square units.
If we had one piece of pie originally and we ate one piece, then we have 0 pieces of pie left.
We ate one piece of piece. We will estimate the area of the piece of pie using
which has a base of 2 and a height of 6.
How much pie do we have left?

Imagine the piece of pie you had was like a triangle. To find out how much pie was in that piece, we multiplied the base, which is how wide it is, by the height, which is how tall it is, and then divided by 2. That gave us an estimate of 6 square units for the piece of pie.
Now, if you had one piece of pie and you ate one piece, that means you don't have any pie left. It's all gone!
