Answer:

Area of Pizza 1 = 50.24 sq. inch, Area of Pizza 2 = 78.5 sq. inch, Area of Pizza 3 = = 113.04 sq. inch

Thus, the pizza with diameter 8 inch is better to buy.

Explanation:

We are given three pizzas with three different diameters.


diametre_1 = 8 inch ⇒
radius_1 = 4 inch


diametre_2 = 10 inch ⇒
radius_1 = 5 inch


diametre_3 = 12 inch ⇒
radius_1 = 6 inch

Area of Circle = πr², where r is the radius of circle.

Area of Pizza 1 = 3.14 × 4 × 4 = 50.24 sq. inch

Area of Pizza 2 = 3.14 × 5 × 5 = 78.5 sq. inch

Area of Pizza 3 = 3.14 × 6 × 6 = 113.04 sq. inch

We are also given cost for each pizza.


Cost_1 = $9


Cost_2 = $12


Cost_3 = $18

To choose which one is a better pizza to buy, we calculate cost per square inch.

Cost per sq. inch =
\frac{\text{Cost of Pizza}}{\text{Area of Pizza}}

Pizza 1 =
(9)/(50.24) = 0.18$ per sq. inch

Pizza 2 =
(12)/(78.5) = 0.15$ per sq. inch

Pizza 1 =
(18)/(113.04) = 0.16$ per sq. inch

Thus, the pizza with diameter 10 inch is better to buy.

Area od pizza, A = Pi*Diameter^2/4

A1 = Pi*8^2/4 = 50.27 in^2
A2 = Pi*10^2/4 = 78.54 in^2
A3 = Pi*12^2/4 = 113.10 in^2

Cost (C) per sq. in;
C1 = 50.27/9 = $5.59
C2 = 78.54/12 = $6.55
C3 = 113.10/18 = $6.28

The best buy is the first pizza with 8 in diameter as it costs the least per sq. inch.
