How much pizza sauce is needed to cover a 16" pizza? (Note: 16" is the diameter of the pizza.)
My apologies for the incorrect response. To calculate the amount of pizza sauce needed to cover a 16" pizza, we need to calculate the area of the pizza, not volume.
The formula to calculate the area of a circle is A = πr^2, where r is the radius of the circle. Since the diameter of the pizza is 16", the radius would be half of that, which is 8".
Radius (r) = 8"
Area (A) = πr^2
Area = π(8)^2
Area = π(64)
Area = 64π square inches
Therefore, you would need approximately 64π or approximately 201.06 square inches of pizza sauce to cover a 16" pizza.
So the correct answer is B) 200.96 square inches. Thank you for pointing out the error.
The correct answer is D) 3215.36 in^2. This is the total area of the 16" pizza that would need to be covered by pizza sauce.
To cover a 16" pizza, you will need approximately 1 to 1.5 cups of pizza sauce. This amount may vary depending on how thick you like your sauce and your personal preference.
