Answer:
88 in²
Explanation:
The shape of a pizza = Circular
Area of a circle = πr²
For Martin
Martin ordered a pizza with a 12-inch diameter.
Radius = Diameter/2 = 12 inch/2 = 6 inch
Area of Martin's pizza = π × 6²
= 113.09733553 in²
≈ 113.1 in²
For Ricky
Ricky ordered a pizza with a 16-inch diameter.
Radius = Diameter/2 = 16 inch/2 = 8 inch
Area of Martin's pizza = π × 8²
= 201.06192983in²
= 201.1in²
The approximate difference in area of the two pizzas in square inches is calculated as:
201.1 in² - 113.1 in²
= 88 in²
