Answer:

64π inches^2

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of the pizza = Area of the circle

= (π/4) × D²

= (π/4) × (16 inches)²

= 64π inches²

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

A circle is a curve sketched out by a point moving in a plane. The area of the pizza is 64π inches². The correct option is C.

What is a circle?

A circle is a curve sketched out by a point moving in a plane so that its distance from a given point is constant; alternatively, it is the shape formed by all points in a plane that are at a set distance from a given point, the centre.

Given that the pizza has a diameter of 16 inches. Therefore, the area of the pizza will be,

Area of the pizza = Area of the circle

= (π/4) × D²

= (π/4) × (16 inches)²

= 64π inches²

Hence, the area of the pizza is 64π inches².
