Answer by josgarithmetic(39621)   (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Angle of 45 degree? The central angle? Are all the pieces initially taken to be the same size and of the same measure for central angle? If so, then  ; central angle for each piece should be 36 degrees.
The 45 degrees is if the pizza were cut into 8 equal pieces.

This post is more than strange.
It looks like the author does not know how many degrees are in a circle.
In a pizza, I mean.
But it made me smiling. So, thanks to the author.

Good problem for the day of April, 1.
And if somebody will publish a special Magazine for this day, this problem may go as the opening problem at the first pride of place
in its Math section.

April, 1 is an International Fools' day

When I completed this post and then returned to it later, I thought that this mix can be explained if to assume that
the 450 degrees in the pizza were missed with 450 Fahrenheit degrees in the oven, where the pizza was prepared.
