Answer:

≈ 25 in²

Explanation:

The general formula for the area of a circle is:

A=πr²

A = (3.14)(8²)

Since the size of the pizza is 16 inches across, the radius is half of that, or 16÷2 = 8 inches.

A ≈ 201 in²

Since there 8 slices of pizza, you can take the total area and divide by 8:

201 ÷ 8 ≈ 25 in²
