A large pizza at Angelo’s Pizzeria has a diameter of 14 inches. What is the area of the pizza? Use 3.14 for pi. Round to the nearest tenth.

1 answer

The radius of the pizza is half of the diameter, so:

r = 14/2 = 7

To find the area, we use the formula:

A = πr^2

A = 3.14 x 7^2

A = 3.14 x 49

A = 153.86

Rounded to the nearest tenth, the area of the pizza is:

A ≈ 153.9 square inches.
