Question

Kathy ordered a 14 inches pizza. When she came to the store to pick up her pizza. The

owner told her "I can give you a discount if you can answer my question". Kathy said
"Sure!" The question is "What is the area of one slice of this pizza if I cut it into 8 slices.
Tell me your answer in terms of t." Can you help Kathy with the answer for this question?

Answer 1

The area of one slice of this pizza is equal to
`6.125\pi\ in^2`

Explanation:

step 1

Find the area of the complete pizza

The area of the circle is given by the formula

`A=\pi r^(2)`

we have

`r=14/2=7\ in` ----> the radius is half the diameter

substitute

`A=\pi (7)^(2)`

`A=49\pi\ in^2`

step 2

Divide the complete area by 8 (number of slices of pizza)

`49\pi/8=6.125\pi\ in^2`

therefore

The area of one slice of this pizza is equal to
`6.125\pi\ in^2`
