Responses

A 50.24 50.24 in 2

B 200.96 200.96 in 2

C 803.84 803.84 in 2

D 3215.36 in 2

Answer 1

B 200.96 200.96 in 2

The formula for the area of a circle is A = πr^2, where r is the radius of the circle. In this case, the diameter of the pizza is 16 inches, so the radius is half of that, which is 8 inches.

Plugging that into the formula, we get A = π(8)^2 = 64π.

Since π is approximately 3.14, 64π is approximately 200.96. So, 200.96 square inches of pizza sauce is needed to cover a 16" pizza.
