Allen works at pizza palace. one day when he was creating a batch of large pepperoni pizzas, he began to wonder how much a 14” pizza is covered if 1 1/2” around the circumference is crust? show your work.

About 380.13 inches, or 121π
A 14-inch pizza with 1 and 1/2 inches of crush around it has a total of 3" taken off the diameter, leaving the actual amount of pizza covered a circle with a diameter of 11" (14 - 3).

To solve for the area of a circle, you calculate . Plug in 11 for the radius to get . This, when put into a calculator, results in about 380.13 square inches of a 14" that is actually covered if 1 1/2" around is crust.
