You can put this solution on YOUR website! A pizza is 16” in diameter and has 4 pepperoni evenly dispersed on the pizza, that are 2” in diameter. What is the probability of a piece of grated cheese not touching the pepperoni?
-------
Area of the pizza:: pi*8^2 = 64pi sq in
Area of pepperoni:: 4*pi*1^2 = 4pi sq in
----
Area of the cheese:: 60pi sq in
