Answer 1

Round pizza

Explanation:

Area of the Round Pizza =
`49 \pi` square inches.

Area of the Square Pizza = 49 square inches.

Recall that:
`\pi =(22)/(7)`

Therefore:

Area of the Round Pizza =
`49 \pi=49X(22)/(7)=154 \:Square \:Inches`

Since 154 is greater than 49(154>49)

If Steve wants to eat more crust, he will buy the round pizza.
