The answer is in the back of my book to check it, but I'm just not seeing how they are coming up with it. Please show me how to get the answer by example. Here is the problem: The diameter of the base of a pie is 9 inches. The diameter of the top of the pie tin is 12 inches. How many square inches of crust need to be prepared in order to create a crust on the bottom and top but not on the sides of a pie made in this tin? Thanks for your help. \n" ); document.write( "
