First, let's determine the total area of the pizza.

Diameter = 10 in.


\text{ Area = }(\pi d^2)/(4)
\text{ = }(\pi(10)^2)/(4)
\text{ = }(\pi(100))/(4)
\text{ Area = 25}\pi\text{ in.}^2

Next, let's determine what is 1/4 of the area of the pizza.


\text{ }(1)/(4)\text{ of Pizza's area = }(1)/(4)\text{ x 25}\pi
\text{ = }(25\pi)/(4)
\text{ = 6.25}\pi\text{ or 6.25(3.14) = }19.625in.^2

Therefore, Angie ate 19.625 in.² of the pizza.
