Answer:
15.7 in
Step-by-step explanation:
A slice of a round pie is a sector of a circle.
The perimeter of a slice is the arc length s plus twice the radius r.
P = s + 2r
s = rθ = r(16/360) = r/22.5. So,
16 = (r/22.5) + 2r = (r + 45r)/22.5 = 46r/22.5
16 × 22.5 = 46r
360 = 46r
r = 7.826
D = 2r = 2 × 7.826 = 15.7 in
The diameter of the cake should be 15.7 in.
