Answer:
The area of the pizza crust is [tex]200.96\ in^{2}[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
we know that
The area of a circle ( round pizza) is equal to
[tex]A=\pi r^{2}[/tex]
where
r is the radius
in this problem we have
[tex]r=16/2=8\ in[/tex] -----> the radius is half the diameter
assume
[tex]\pi =3.14[/tex]
substitute
[tex]A=(3.14)(8)^{2}[/tex]
[tex]A=200.96\ in^{2}[/tex]
