Answer 6

Do you have any ideas on this so far?
It is noteworthy that we are looking for "how many more square inches."

Answer 7

I don't really know.

Answer 8

The unit of square (units) is an expression of area.
So we want to find the area of each circle and take the difference of the large and the small pizzas.

Answer 9

Okay.

Answer 10

Is that an "Okay" for understanding? Or are you still confused on what to do?

Answer 11

I'm still a little bit confused. If there a formula or no?

Okay.

Answer 14

That is 4.

Answer 15

Area formula for a circle of radius \(r\): \( A = \pi r^2 \) Note that diameter is twice the radius, or 2r = d ==> r = d/2.
Area of circle diameter 16 = ...
Area of circle diameter 12 = ...
Difference of the two is your answer.
