Responses
A 50.24 in2
B 200.96 in2
C 803.84 in2
D 3215.36 in2
To calculate the amount of pizza sauce needed to cover a 16" pizza, we first need to find the area of the pizza.
The formula for the area of a circle is A = πr^2, where r is the radius of the circle. Since the diameter of the pizza is 16 inches, the radius is half of that, which is 8 inches.
Now, calculate the area of the pizza using the formula:
A = π(8)^2
A = π(64)
A ≈ 200.96 square inches
Therefore, the correct answer is B) 200.96 in2.
