Answer: The actual answer is (175.84 square inches)
Explanation:
First, find the area of the pizza.
You need to use the formula for area of a circle: A = πr^2
or in words, the area of a circle is equal to pi times radius to the second power.
So find the radius which is half the diameter.
The diameter is 16 inches, so the radius is 8 inches.
Now raise 8 to the second power, meaning that you need to times 8 by 8
(8 * 8 = 64) Now you times 64 by pi or 3.14. (64 * 3.14 = 200.96)
That is the area of the entire pizza.
But you still need to find how many square inches are left after 1/8 is eaten.
If 1/8 is eaten, then that means the pizza is divided into eighths.
Take 200.96 and divided that by 8 to find how much the individual pieces are.
200.96/8 = 25.12
But you need to find what is left is the pizza, so times 25.12 by 7 because that is how many pieces are left. 25.12 * 7 = 175.84
Sorry for the long explanation, but here is proof that the answer is correct. I took the same test and got the answer right
