A pizzeria sells two sizes of pepperoni pizza. The small pizza has diameter \(10\,\text{in.}\), and the large pizza has diameter \(16\,\text{in.}\).
Find the area of each pizza. Then determine how many more square inches of pizza the large size has. Round to the nearest hundredth.
Hints
- How are diameter and radius related?
- Which formula gives the area of a circle?
- Subtract the smaller area from the larger area.
Solution
1. The radii are \(5\,\text{in.}\) and \(8\,\text{in.}\).
2. The small pizza's area is \(A_s = \pi(5\,\text{in.})^2 = 25\pi\,\text{in.}^2 \approx 78.54\,\text{in.}^2\).
3. The large pizza's area is \(A_l = \pi(8\,\text{in.})^2 = 64\pi\,\text{in.}^2 \approx 201.06\,\text{in.}^2\).
4. The area difference is \(64\pi - 25\pi = 39\pi\,\text{in.}^2 \approx 122.52\,\text{in.}^2\).
Answer
Small pizza: approximately \(78.54\,\text{in.}^2\)
Large pizza: approximately \(201.06\,\text{in.}^2\)
Difference: approximately \(122.52\,\text{in.}^2\)
