    Marco orders a large pizza, with a diameter of 14 inches. It is cut into 8 congruent pieces. what is the area of one piece?

    A pizza is a circle. If the diameter of the pizza is 14 inches, the radius is 14/2 = 7 inches.

    Area of a circle is pi(r^2). With r = 7, we have:
    A =7^2(pi)
    A = 49pi

    Area of a slice of pizza is the area of the full pizza divided by 8
    A(Slice) = 49pi/8
