Hi,
*Note: Area of a circle is pi%2Ar%5E2 where r is the radius of the circle.
(8in pizza, 16in pizza refers to the diameter of the pizza)
.
A%5B8in%5D+=+4%5E2%2Api
A%5B8in%5D+=+16%2Api Area of 2 of them would be 32%2Api
.
A%5B16in%5D+=+8%5E2%2Api
A%5B16in%5D+=+64%2Api
.
one 16th inch gives you more pizza
