Jeff's pie is a circle with a radius of r=4+in.
first, the area of a circle is A=r%5E2%28pi%29
and if it needs to be sliced in 16 equal pieces, the area of each slice will be:
A=r%5E2%28pi%29%2F16
A=%284in%29%5E2%283.14%29%2F16
A=16in%5E2%2A%283.14%29%2F16
A=cross%2816%29in%5E2%2A%283.14%29%2Fcross%2816%29
A=3.14in%5E2
