We ate one piece of piece. We ​will estimate the area of the piece of pie using ​
△𝐴𝐵𝐶
which has a base of 2 and a height of 6.

How much pie do we have left?

Answer 1

First, I would find the area of the triangle △𝐴𝐵𝐶. The formula for finding the area of a triangle is 1/2 times base times height. So, I would do 1/2 times 2 times 6, which equals 6 square units.

Next, I would subtract the area of the piece of pie we ate from the total area. If the whole pie was 8 square units and we ate 6 square units, we would have 2 square units of pie left. So, we have 2 square units of pie left.

Answer 3

Sure!

First, calculate the area of the triangle using △𝐴𝐵𝐶 with a base of 2 and a height of 6:

Area = 1/2 x base x height
Area = 1/2 x 2 x 6
Area = 1/2 x 12
Area = 6 square units

Next, subtract the area of the piece of pie we ate (6 square units) from the total area of the pie:

Total area of the pie = 8 square units
Leftover pie = 8 - 6 = 2 square units

So, we have 2 square units of pie left.
