Answer 1

Answer: The area of the square pizza box is 324 square inches.

Explanation:

The area of the square pizza box is 18 inches x 18 inches = 324 square inches. The area of the circular pizza is π x (8 inches)^2 = 201.06 square inches. The difference between the area of the box and the pizza is 324 square inches - 201.06 square inches = 122.94 square inches. (rounded to the nearest hundredth).
