Question

Pizza with a diameter of 12 inches is cut into 8 equal slices to the nearest square inch what is the area of each slice of the pizza

Answer 1

14

Explanation:

Have a great day:)

Answer 2

14.14
`in^2`

Explanation:

First, find the area of the whole pizza, knowing that its diameter is 12 inches, and therefore its "radius" (R) is 6 inches.

We apply the formula for the area of a circle:

`Area= \pi R^2=\pi (6)^2=113.09 in^(2)`

Now, since it is divided into 8 exactly equal slices, in order to find the are of each slice, we divide the total area by 8:

`(113.1)/(8) in^(2) =14.14 in^2`
