Question

A pie slice is an example of
E. Radius
F.Chord
G. Sector
H.Segment

Answer 1

Hint: Pie slice is the represent the cutout of a circular curve with radius $r$ and angle $\theta$ at
the centre as shown in the figure below.

Complete step-by-step answer:
Here we have to check whether each of the given option follows the characteristics of the pie
slice or not.
Radius of a circle is the distance between the centre to any point on the curve. Length of the radius for a circle is always the same. Thus the pie slice is not an example of radius.
Thus, option A is incorrect.

Chord is the straight line connecting any two points on the circle. In a circle diameter represent
the longest curve. Since pie slice is doesn’t follow the properties of chord, so pie slice is not an
example of chord.
Thus, option B is incorrect.

Sector is a slice of a circle formed by two radii forming an angle in the centre. It is also known as
the pizza slice. Example of a sector is Pie slice since it follows all the properties of a sector.
Thus, option C is correct.

Segment of a circle is the cut from the circle by a chord. It is a slice with triangular portion
cutout from a circle like the crust portion of a pizza slice.
Thus, option D is incorrect.

Note: Pie slice represent a sector of a circle since it formed by two radius forming an angle in the
center. By comparing the characteristics of each of the given options, we get the required answer.
