If I have a 14in pizza whats the area? And what 5 sided irregular polygon could have the same area? What is the demensions of the irregular polygon?

OpenStudy (fortytherapper):

Do you know the formula for the area of a circle? (Assuming the pizza is a circle and not any other shape)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

The formula for area of a circle is \[A=\pi r^2\] The 14" is your diameter, so divide it by 2 to find the radius. Then your area is \[A = \pi(7)^2\] in²

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i just spoke to 3 people like yourself i havent done anything yet.. i need math help

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

do you see where peachpi posted the area formula for a circle?

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

ooooooo gotcha im sry let me work on this and ill get bak to u in 5 mins...is that ok?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Directions: A large pizza at Tony's Pizzeria is a circle with a 14-inch diameter. Its box is a rectangular prism that is 1 14 8 inches long, 1 14 8 inches wide, and 3 1 4 inches tall. Your job is to design a crazy new shape for a large pizza. It can be any irregular polygon shape, but it must have at least five sides. Tony says he will make and sell your crazy pizza if you can prove the following: • It is approximately the same area as the large pizza he sells now. • It fits inside the large box listed above. • It can be cut into 8‒12 equal-sized pieces. Create one design for a crazy pizza that will meet all of Tony's requirements. 1. Create a representation of your design that includes measurements. 2. Prove mathematically, using appropriate formulas, that your design is approximately the same surface area as Tony’s large pizza. 3. Prove mathematically, using appropriate formulas, that your pizza will fit in the box. 4. Use diagrams or other models to prove that your design can be divided into 8‒12 equal-sized pieces. (Tip: You may use graph paper or the Virtual Geoboard to show how your pizza can be divided into equal-sized pieces.)
