A. 11.25 πin2

B. 29.57 πin2

C. 18.35 πin2

D. 20.25 πin2

Answer Explanation:

We need to find the radius in order to find the area of the pizza.

Radius of pizza

The area of the pizza

        

But r=4.5

 

Thus, the area of the pizza is 20.25  in2.

NOTE:  is used as is since values of pi may vary e.g. 3.14, 3.142, 22/7. Hence we use pi symbol to generalize.

Therefore, the Correct Answer is D.

  • Q #1: If a box of 55 syringes costs $660.00, which of the following is the cost of four syringes?

    A. $51.00

    B. $26.00

    C. $32.00

    D. $48.00

    Answer Explanation

    : the question requires we find the cost of four syringes.

    If we let x be the cost of four syringes, then we set up a proportion equation with cost as numerator and number of syringes as denominator. The proportion equation becomes

    Cross-multiply to solve for x

    Rearranging the above

    Divide both sides of the equation by 55

    Thus, the cost of 4 syringes is $48.
