Answer 1

Answer:

88 in²

Step-by-step explanation:

The shape of a pizza = Circular

Area of a circle = πr²

For Martin

Martin ordered a pizza with a 12-inch diameter.

Radius = Diameter/2 = 12 inch/2 = 6 inch

Area of Martin's pizza = π × 6²

= 113.09733553 in²

≈ 113.1 in²

For Ricky

Ricky ordered a pizza with a 16-inch diameter.

Radius = Diameter/2 = 16 inch/2 = 8 inch

Area of Martin's pizza = π × 8²

= 201.06192983in²

= 201.1in²

The approximate difference in area of the two pizzas in square inches is calculated as:

201.1 in² - 113.1 in²

= 88 in²
