Answer:

25.1 square inches

Explanation:

You want the area of a 1/8 slice of a 16-inch pizza.

Area

The area of a circle is given by the formula ...

A = πr²

where r represents the radius of the circle, half the diameter.

For the 16-inch diameter pizza, the radius is 8 inches, so the area of the whole pizza is ...

A = π(8 in)² = 64π in²

Slice

The area of a slice will be 1/8 of this:

slice area = 1/8(64π in²) = 8π in² ≈ 25.133 in²

The area of a slice of the pizza is about 25.1 square inches.
