Alex is making a pizza. The round pizza pan has a 16 inch diameter. What is the area of the pizza crust needed to fill the entire pan? use 3.14 for pie

The area of the pizza crust is 200.96 inches²

Step-by-step explanation:

* Lets explain how to solve the problem

- The area of any circle is πr², where r is the length of its radius

- The length of the diameter of any circle is twice the length of

its radius (diameter = 2 radius)

* Lets solve the problem

- Alex is making a pizza

- The round pizza pan has a 16 inch diameter

- To find the area of the pizza crust is needed to fill the entire pan,

calculate the area of the pan

∵ The diameter of the pan is 16 inches

∵ The radius of the pan = 1/2 diameter

∴ The radius of the pan = 1/2 (16) = 8 inches

∵ The area of the pan = πr²

∵ π = 3.14 and r = 8 inches

∴ The area pf the pan = 3.14 (8) ² = 200.96 inches²

∵ The area of the pizza pan = the area of the pizza crust

∴ The area of the pizza crust is 200.96 inches²
