The pizza is round and has a radius of 8 inches. Tina only ate 1/3 of the pizza and took home the rest of it. How many square inches of the pizza did Tina eat?

Respuesta :

Answer:

[tex]\approx67\text{ inch}^2[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

GIVEN: The pizza is round and has a radius of [tex]8\text{ inches}[/tex]. Tina only ate [tex]\frac{1}{3}[/tex] of the pizza and took home the rest of it.

TO FIND: How many square inches of the pizza did Tina eat.

SOLUTION:

radius of pizza [tex]=8\text{ inches}[/tex]

Area of circular pizza [tex]=\pi(\text{radius})^2[/tex]

putting values we get,

Area of pizza [tex]=3.14\times8^2=3.14\times64[/tex]

                      [tex]=200.96[/tex]

Now, Tina only ate [tex]\frac{1}{3}[/tex] of her pizza

Area of pizza ate by tina [tex]=\frac{1}{3}\times\text{area of pizza}[/tex]

                                         [tex]=\frac{1}{3}\times200.96=66.98[/tex]

                                        [tex]\approx67\text{ inches}^2[/tex]

Hence tina only ate [tex]67\text{ inches}^2[/tex] of pizza
