the measure of the length of the edge, is given by the subsequent formula: L=πD≅3.14D where D is the diameter of your pizza, namely D= 14 inches

Answer: 3.14*14=43.96

Answer:

43.96 inches.

Explanation:

We have been given that Sonja bought a 14-inch pizza. We are asked to find the crust around edge of pizza.

We know that pizza is in form of circle. The crust around edge of pizza will be equal to circumference of pizza.


\text{Circumference of circle}=\pi D, where D represents diameter of circle.

Upon substituting our given values in above formula, we will get:


\text{Crust around edge of pizza}=3.14* 14\text{ inch}


\text{Crust around edge of pizza}=43.96\text{ inch}

Therefore, the crust around edge of pizza is 43.96 inches.
