Question 1962: a pizza is cut into 8 equal slices.if the radius of the pie is 12 inches,what is the area of 2 of the slices

You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Area of circle = pi*r%5E2
Area = 12^2*pi
Area = 144*pi
2 slices is a quarter of the pizza (2/8 --> 1/4).
So, a quarter of 144pi is 38*pi. This is the answer.
If you need a numeric answer then 38*3.1416 = whatever :-)
