Answer:

The area of one slice of this pizza is equal to [tex]6.125\pi\ in^2[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

step 1

Find the area of the complete pizza

The area of the circle is given by the formula

[tex]A=\pi r^{2}[/tex]

we have

[tex]r=14/2=7\ in[/tex] ----> the radius is half the diameter

substitute

[tex]A=\pi (7)^{2}[/tex]

[tex]A=49\pi\ in^2[/tex]

step 2

Divide the complete area by 8 (number of slices of pizza)

[tex]49\pi/8=6.125\pi\ in^2[/tex]

therefore

The area of one slice of this pizza is equal to [tex]6.125\pi\ in^2[/tex]
