Question

What is the shape of the slice of a circular pizza?
A.Sector
B.Segment
C.Tangent
D.Radius

Answer 1

Hint: For this type of problem, first consider a circle and draw it then, cut the circle in $4-5$ pieces .At last compare the pizza with the circle and try to find out which shape is circular pizza.


Complete step-by-step answer:
To solve this question , let us draw a circle

Now cut it into four or five pieces and take out one piece,

Now take a picture of pizza with its one slice
Now we have to compare the slice of pizza with the one piece of circle .
We know that the area between an arc and two radii of a circle is called Sector.
So that the name of the circular pizza slice is sector.
Hence, option A is the correct option.
Additional information: Segment-Segment is also a slice of circle. A segment is the curved part of a sector, the part that is left if you remove the triangle from a sector.
Segments are made up of two lines. The arc and the chord.
 Tangent- Tangent to a circle is a line that touches the circle at one point.
 Radius- Radius of a circle is any line segments from its center to its perimeter.

Note: In such types of conceptual problems students get confused between segment and sector. So that we have to be more clear about the shape or size of segments or sectors, otherwise we can make many mistakes because all the related formulas of sectors are different from segments.
