Question

7. Hunter has a choice between 2 pizzas: a circular pizza with a 10-inch diameter, and a square pizza with a 9-inch side. Which statement below is true? O The pizzas have the same area. The area of the square pizza is larger. The area of the circular pizza is 100 square inches The area of the circular pizza is larger.​

Answer 1

(b) The area of the square pizza is larger

Explanation:

The areas can be computed using the appropriate formulas, then compared.

__

circular pizza

A = πr² . . . . . r = half the diameter

A = π(5 in)² = 25π in² ≈ 78.5 in²

square pizza

A = s² . . . . . s is the side length

A = (9 in)² = 81 in²

The area of the square pizza (81 in²) is larger than that of the circular pizza (78.5 in²).
