Question

You have a slice cut from a perfectly round pizza. The perimeter of your slice is 10 inches. What is the largest area that it can possibly have?

Answer 1

Answer: See explanation

Explanation:

A pizza is in the shape of a circle.

Since the perimeter is 10 inches, we have to find the radius. This will be:

2πr = 10

πr = 10/2

πr = 5

3.14r = 5

r = 5/3.14

r = 1.5924

Area = πr²

= 3.14 × 1.5924²

= 7.96 inches

= 8 inches approximately
