To solve the problems, we can use the formulas for circumference and area of a circle.

Part 1: Circumference

The formula for the circumference \(C\) of a circle is:

\[ C = \pi \times d \]

where \(d\) is the diameter.

Given that the diameter of the pizza is 16 inches, we can substitute this into the formula:

\[ C = 3.14 \times 16 \]

Calculating this:

\[ C = 50.24 \]

So the circumference of the pizza, rounded to the nearest hundredth, is:

\[ C = 50.24 \text{ inches} \]

Part 2: Area

The formula for the area \(A\) of a circle is:

\[ A = \pi \times r^2 \]

where \(r\) is the radius. The radius is half of the diameter, so:

\[ r = \frac{d}{2} = \frac{16}{2} = 8 \text{ inches} \]

Now we can substitute the radius into the area formula:

\[ A = 3.14 \times 8^2 \]

Calculating \(8^2\):

\[ 8^2 = 64 \]

Now substitute back into the area formula:

\[ A = 3.14 \times 64 \]

Calculating this:

\[ A = 200.96 \]

So the area of the pizza, rounded to the nearest hundredth, is:

\[ A = 200.96 \text{ square inches} \]

Summary

  • Circumference: 50.24 inches
  • Area: 200.96 square inches
