The area of one slice of the circular pizza is approximately 38.49 square inches
To solve this problem
We need to use the formula for the area of a circle, which is A = πr²,
Where
- A represents the area
- r represents the radius of the circle
We may calculate the radius by dividing the diameter by two, given that the pizza has a diameter of fourteen inches. Thus, 14 inches ÷ 2 = 7 inches is the radius.
Now, we can substitute the radius into the area formula:
A = π(7 inches)²
A = π(49 square inches)
A ≈ 153.94 square inches (rounded to two decimal places)
Since the pizza is divided into 4 equal slices, we may divide the pizza's total area by 4 to determine the area of one slice:
- Area of one slice = 153.94 square inches ÷ 4
- Area of one slice ≈ 38.49 square inches (rounded to two decimal places)
So, the area of one slice of the circular pizza is approximately 38.49 square inches.
