Answer:
Brianne gets 25.12 inches² of pancake.
Explanation:
Assuming the pancake to be a circular shape.
If the pancake's distance from one side of the pancake to other side was 8 inches, then diameter of circle = 8 inches. It means radius = 4 inches.
Brianne cut her pancake in half to share with friend. It means Brianne gets half-circular shape. So we need to find area of half-circle.
Area of half-circle = (1/2)πr² = (1/2) x 3.14 x 4² = 1.57 x 16 = 25.12 inches².
Hence, Brianne gets 25.12 inches² of pancake.
