Question

Sammy is making a bacon wrapped pizza for dinner. She is wrapping 47.1 inches of bacon around the outside edge of the pizza. What is the area of the pizza?

Answer 1

Answer:

Approx. 1.8 in.²

Step-by-step explanation:

Circumference of a circle (the pizza) = 2πr

Area of a circle = πr²

Set 2πr = 4.71 (because that's the length of bacon around the pizza) and solve for the radius "r". Then plug that "r" into the area equation πr² to find the area. You should get 1.8 square inches if I plugged them in correctly.
