Question

PLEASE HELP 50 POINTS

Assume the whole pizza was 12 inches across and cut into 8 pieces.

Answer 1

14.13 in²

Explanation:

Diameter: 12 inches

Radius: 12/2 = 6 inches

Area of the entire pizza:

pi × r²

3.15 × 6²

113.04 in²

Area of each slice:

113.04/8

14.13 in²

Answer 2

14.14 inches squared

Explanation:

We basically just want to find the area of one slice of pizza.

We know that the whole pizza was 12 inches across, which means its diameter was 12. Radius is 1/2 of the diameter, so r = 12/2 = 6 inches.

The area of a circle (the pizza, I assume, was circular) is:
`A=\pi r^2`, where r is the radius. Here, r = 6, so:

`A=\pi r^2`

`A=\pi *6^2=36\pi`

But this is the area of the entire pizza. We need to divide it by 8:

`36\pi /8` ≈ 14.14 inches squared

Hope this helps!
