Question

About how many square inches are in a round pizza with a diameter that measures 12 inches?

Answer 1

The area of the pizza is 113.04 square inches

Explanation:

Given that the diameter is 12 inches

The shape of the pizza in this case is a circle

Firstly, we need to find the radius of the pizza

Radius = Diameter / 2

Radius = 12 / 2

Radius = 6 inches

`\begin{gathered} \text{Area of a circle = }\pi\cdot r^2 \\ \text{Where }\pi\text{ = 3.14} \\ \text{Area of the }\pi zza\text{= 3.14 }\cdot6^2 \\ \text{Area of the pizza = 3.14 }\cdot\text{ 36 } \\ \text{Area of the pizza = 113.04 in}^2 \end{gathered}`
