Question Image 

Now, the shop from where they bought this, did not cut it into equal pieces. Raju tried to divide it, but the pieces were not equal.  

As a fun game, he decided to measure the central angles formed and draw the pizza on a piece of paper.

He found that the radius of the pizza is 8 cm. The drawing of the pizza came out something like this:
