Answer:

We can use the formula for the area of a circle to solve this problem. We know that the area of one piece of pizza is 14.13 in². If the pizza is cut into eight equal pieces, then the total area of the pizza is 8 times the area of one piece of pizza, which is 8 * 14.13 = 113.04 in².

The formula for the area of a circle is A = πr², where A is the area of the circle and r is the radius. Solving for r, we get r = √(A/π). Substituting the total area of the pizza, we get:

r = √(113.04/π) ≈ 6

Therefore, the radius of the pizza is approximately 6 inches.
