Explanation:
To calculate the area of each piece, we need to know the total area of the pizza and how it was cut. Let's assume that the pizza is a circle with a radius of "r" inches, and it was cut into eight equal slices.
The formula for the area of a circle is:
A = πr²
So, the total area of the pizza is:
A = πr²
To find the area of each slice, we need to divide the total area by the number of slices:
Area of each slice = (πr²) / 8
Simplifying this expression, we get:
Area of each slice = (0.125πr²) square inches
Therefore, the area of each slice of a small pizza cut into eight pieces is 0.125 times the area of the entire pizza, which is a fraction of the total area. The actual value of the area depends on the radius of the pizza, which was not provided in the question.
