At a local pizza shop, the price for a medium cheese pizza is $6.50, and the price for a large pizza is $14.00. The diameters of the large and medium pizzas are 18 inches and 12 inches respectively. Both pizzas are the same thickness. Using your knowledge of geometry and number sense,
\n" ); document.write( "a) Calculate the cost of each pizza per square inch.
\n" ); document.write( "Large radius = 9\", Med radius = 6\"; find the area of each
\n" ); document.write( "L = \"14%2F%28pi%2A9%5E2%29\" = 5.5 cents per sq inch;
\n" ); document.write( "M = \"6.5%2F%28pi%2A6%5E2%29\" = 5.7 cents per sq inch
\n" ); document.write( "b) Determine which size is a better buy.
\n" ); document.write( "Large is slightly better deal, obviously
