So combine all the x and the Y on the left side and the coefficients on the right and then multiply the variable (x or Y) by the number needed for both. and then whichever variable you have left (x or y) will equal the coefficient and then divide by the coefficient
The surface area of the shape shown is 1008 square centimeters. I hope this helps!
First find the area of the whole pizza.
The formula for area of a circle is Area = PI x r^2
The diameter is given as 131 feet, so r would be 131/2 = 65.5 feet.
I will use 3.14 for PI since the problem doesn't say what value to use.
Area = PI x 65.5^2
Area = 3.14 x 4290.25
Area = 13,471.39 square feet
Divide the total area by the number of pieces:
13,471.39 / 50 = 269.43 square feet
To find the length of the crust first find the circumference of the whole pizza:
Circumference = PI x diameter
Circumference = 3.14 x 131 = 411.34 feet
Now divide the total by the number of pieces:
411.34 / 50 = 8.23 feet
Each slice has an area of about 269.43 square feet and a crust length of 8.23 feet.
