Answer the following questions based on the given statement.
1.Would you need to consider the circumference or area of the pizza to analyze this real-world situation? In other words, which formula would you utilize to determine if this given statement makes sense, and why would you use that particular formula?
:
You are probably concerned with the amt of pizza you get, therefore the area is what you use.
The area is so if you double the radius, you have 4 times the area
:
2.Does the given statement make sense? Why or why not? Use real numerical values to support your
It does not, as you can see doubling the radius gives you 4 times more pizza
:
You can use some real numbers to prove this to yourself, compare an 8" pizza with a 16" pizza by finding the area of each
