Answer:

18.84 in^2

Explanation:

Area brother ate = 1/6 x area of pizza

a pizza is the shape of a circle. the area of a pizza is equal to the area of a circle

Area of a circle = πr²

r = 12/2 = 6

he diameter is the straight line that passes through the centre of a circle and touches the two edges of the circle.

A radius is half of the diameter

3.14 x 6^2 = 113.04

1/6 x 113.04 = 18.84
