4500 - 1500 = 3000
Because we need to represent an inequality:
30m = 3000

dybincka [34]
Ok, so if the angle is 120 degrees, its one third of the full cake (which is 360 degrees). So the area of the whole circle (worked out with area = pi * r^2 where r is 30) gives 900*pi, and so one third of that (because her slice is one third)  is 300pi.
