To find the length of the crust along the edges that are cut, we need to find the circumference of the 24-inch diameter pizza and then divide it by 12 (since it is cut into 12 equal pieces).
The circumference of a circle can be calculated using the formula:
Circumference = π x diameter
Given that the diameter of the pizza is 24 inches, we can calculate the circumference:
Circumference = π x 24 inches
Circumference = 3.14 x 24 inches
Circumference = 75.36 inches
Now, to find the length of the crust along the edges that are cut, we divide the circumference by 12 (since the pizza is cut into 12 equal pieces):
Crust length = Circumference / 12
Crust length = 75.36 inches / 12
Crust length ≈ 6.28 inches
Therefore, the length of the crust along the edges that are cut is approximately 6.28 inches.
If a pizza with a 24-inch diameter is cut into 12 equal pieces, then what is the length of the crust along the edges that are cut?
