Question

alex is making a pizza. the round pizza has a 16 inch diameter. what is the area of the pizza crust needed to fill the entire pan?

Answer 1

The area of the pizza crust is
`200.96\ in^(2)`

Explanation:

we know that

The area of a circle ( round pizza) is equal to

`A=\pi r^(2)`

where

r is the radius

in this problem we have

`r=16/2=8\ in` -----> the radius is half the diameter

assume

`\pi =3.14`

substitute

`A=(3.14)(8)^(2)`

`A=200.96\ in^(2)`
