Answer 1

Answer:

The square cake is larger by 31 in^2

Step-by-step explanation:

A round cake has a circular area on top.

We need to find the radius

d= 2r

8 = 2r

r=4

The area of the circle is pi r^2

A = 3.14 * 4^2

A = 3.14 *16

   = 50.24

The area of the square cake is

A =s^2

A = 9^2

A = 81

The square cake is larger

The difference is Asquare - A round

81 -50.24

30.76

Which is close to 31 in ^2
