The correct answer is D) 3215.36 in^2. This is the total area of the 16" pizza that would need to be covered by pizza sauce.
Wrong
My apologies for the incorrect response. To calculate the amount of pizza sauce needed to cover a 16" pizza, we need to calculate the area of the pizza, not volume.
The formula to calculate the area of a circle is A = πr^2, where r is the radius of the circle. Since the diameter of the pizza is 16", the radius would be half of that, which is 8".
Radius (r) = 8"
Area (A) = πr^2
Area = π(8)^2
Area = π(64)
Area = 64π square inches
Therefore, you would need approximately 64π or approximately 201.06 square inches of pizza sauce to cover a 16" pizza.
So the correct answer is B) 200.96 square inches. Thank you for pointing out the error.
