Each of the 8 pieces covers +2%2Api+%2F+8+=+pi%2F4+ radians
+%28+pi%2F4%29%2An+=+%283%2F4%29%2Api+
+n+=+3+
The person should take 3 pieces

Radian is a measure of angle. 2%28pi%29+radians=360+degrees, so %28pi%29+radians would be 1/2 of the pie,+0.75%28pi%29+radians would be 3/8 of the pie, so if each piece is one eighth, they should take 3 pieces
