Answer:

Area of each slice of pizza is 28.27 square inches.

Explanation:

The formula calculating the area of circle is

A = π
r^(2) where r is radius ( half of the diameter )

A =
(12)^(2)

A = 452.38934
inches^(2)

pizza cut into 16 equal slices

Therefore 452.38934 ÷ 16 = 28.27433
inches^(2)

So the total area of the pizza is 452.39 square inches and the area of each slices are 28.27 square inches approximately.
