If I cut an 18 inch pizza into 8 even slices, what will the area of 1 slice be?

Answer 1

The area of 1 slice would be 1/8 of the total area. Since it is an 18-inch pizza (the diameter), and the radius is half of the diameter, we know that the radius is 9 inches.

Area of a circle = ∏∗r²

r = 9

A = ∏∗9² = 81∏ ≈ 254.47 in²

Now we need to find 1/8 of the area to find the area of 1 slice.

254.47 ÷ 8 ≈ 31.8 in²

I hope this helps!
