Answer:

First, let's find the area of the whole pizza:

Area of circle = pi x r^2

r = 16 / 2

r = 8

Area of pizza = pi x 8^2 = 64pi

Now 45 degrees is 1/8 of the whole pizza (it is one-eighth of 360 degrees), and so a slice is proportional to the fraction of the area:

64pi / 8 = 8pi

The area of each slice is then 8pi in.^2
