Given :

Diameter of pizza ,
D=10(1)/(3)=(31)/(3) .

To Find :

Is square box of size equal to diameter big enough to fit pizza inside it .

Solution :

Area of pizza :


A_p=\pi((D)/(2))^2\\\\A_p=\pi* ((31)/(3* 2))^2\\\\A_p=83.86\ inch^2

Area of square with side equal to diameter :


A_s=D^2\\\\A_s=((31)/(3))^2\\\\A_s=106.78\ inch^2

Since , the area of square is more than area of pizza .

Therefore , pizza can easily be fitted .

Hence , this is the required solution .
