Question

THINK ABOUT WHETHER THEY ARE ASKING FOR CURCUMFERENCE OR AREA If you want to Make sure to have the most pizza which would you rather two 12 inch medium or one 18 inch large. Justify your answer mathematically

Answer 1

The maximum pizza quantity would be with the pizza of 18 inch

Explanation:

The size of the pizza in inches depicts its diameter.

Thus, 12 inch pizza means diameter of the pizza = 12 inch and 18 inch pizza means diameter = 18 inch

In case of either the CURCUMFERENCE OR AREA, the pizza with larger diameter will have larger CURCUMFERENCE and AREA as compared to the pizza with smaller diameter.

For instance

Area of 18 inch pizza

`\pi * (18/2)^2\\= 254.34`Square inch

Area of 12 inch pizza

`\pi * (12/2)^2\\= 113.04`Square inch

Circumference of 18 inch pizza

`2*3.14*9 = 56.52`

Circumference of 12 inch pizza

`2*3.14*6 = 37.68`
