๐ Cake Slicing Calculator
A guide for cutting a round cake, pizza, or similar food into even portions.
Enter a round cake's (or pizza's, or any circular food's) diameter and how many equal slices you want, to calculate the central angle, arc length, and area per slice. Handy for cutting even portions.
How to use
- Enter the cake's diameter (cm).
- Enter how many slices you want.
- The angle, arc length, and area per slice are calculated automatically.
FAQ
How is the central angle calculated?
It's the full circle's 360ยฐ divided by the number of slices (360ยฐ รท slices) โ the angle each slice spans as seen from the cake's center.
What is arc length?
The length of the outer edge (the side of the cake) for one slice, calculated as the circumference (ฯ ร diameter) divided by the number of slices. It's a useful guide for marking even intervals around the edge.
How do I use this to actually cut the cake?
Use the central angle like a protractor from the center, or measure the arc length along the outer edge to mark evenly spaced points before cutting, for more even slices.
