Respuesta :

Answer:

14 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

She measures along the outer edge of the crust from one piece and finds it to be 5.5 inches.

We need to find the diameter of the pizza. A pizza is divided into 8 equal parts.

The circumference of one part = [tex]\dfrac{2\pi r}{8}=\dfrac{\pi r}{4}[/tex]

So,

[tex]\dfrac{\pi r}{4}=5.5\\\\2r=D=14\ inch[/tex]

So, the diameter of the pizza is 14 inches.
