However, some people are vegetarians, and so you decide to get two little pizzas, each of which is 8 inches in diameter. Suddenly, someone asks, \"Are we getting the same amount of pizza if we get two little pizzas instead of one large one?\" What do you think? Justify your response. \n" ); document.write( "

You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Certainly not, a large difference between a 16\" and two 8\", because the area is
\n" ); document.write( "based on the radius squared, another words if you double the radius, the area is
\n" ); document.write( "not twice as much, but 4 times as much.
