Explanation:

First, the pizza is 18 inches in diameter, so


d = 18

and, because the radium is half of the diameter,


r = 9

Note that the units are inches.

Using the equation


a = \pi r ^(2)

where a is the area of a circle, we know that the area of the whole pizza is approx.254.5 square inches. Divide by 8 to find the area of 1/8 of a pizza. Each slice will have an area of approx. 32 square inches. For a precise result, the answer is


a(s)= ((\pi * 9^(2)))/(s)

where a(s) is the area of a slice of pizza, and s is the total number of slices, given they are equal in size.
