Question

a large pizza has a diameter of 14 inches and is cut into 6 equal pieces. Find the area of 2 pieces, round to the nearest hundredth

Answer 1

The area of two pieces is
`51.28\ in^(2)`

Explanation:

step 1

Find the area of the circle (large pizza)

The area is equal to

`A=\pi r^(2)`

we have

`r=14/2=7\ in` ----> the radius is half the diameter

assume

`\pi =3.14`

substitute

`A=(3.14)(7)^(2)`

`A=153.86\ in^(2)`

step 2

Divide the area into 6 pieces

`153.86/6=25.64\ in^(2)`

step 3

Find the area of two pieces

`25.64*2=51.28\ in^(2)`
