A 14 in diameter pizza is cut into 7 equal pieces. If you eat two slices, how many

square inches of pizza did you consume

1 answer

The area of a 14-inch diameter pizza is calculated using the formula for the area of a circle: A = πr^2, where r is the radius of the pizza.

Since the diameter of the pizza is 14 inches, the radius is half of that, which is 7 inches.

So the area of the pizza is: A = π(7)^2 = 49π square inches.

Each of the 7 equal pieces would cover 1/7th of the area of the pizza, which is 49π/7 = 7π square inches.

Eating two slices would mean consuming 2 * 7π = 14π square inches of pizza.

Since π is approximately 3.14, 14π is approximately 14 * 3.14 = 43.96 square inches.

Therefore, you would have consumed approximately 43.96 square inches of pizza.
