How much pizza sauce is needed to cover a 16" pizza? (Note: 16" is the diameter of the pizza.)
50.24
200.96
803.84
3215.36
We can calculate the area of the 16" pizza using the formula A = πr^2, where r is the radius of the pizza (which is half the diameter).
Radius (r) = 16" / 2 = 8"
Area (A) = π(8)^2 = 64π square inches
Now, we need to figure out how much pizza sauce is needed to cover this area. Let's assume that the pizza sauce is spread evenly and we want a certain thickness of sauce on the pizza.
Let's say we want a thickness of 0.25 inches of sauce on the whole pizza. This would mean we want 0.25 inches * 64π square inches = 16π cubic inches of pizza sauce to cover the 16" pizza.
Using the approximation π ≈ 3.14, we get:
16π ≈ 16 * 3.14 ≈ 50.24 cubic inches
Therefore, we would need approximately 50.24 cubic inches of pizza sauce to cover a 16" pizza with a thickness of 0.25 inches. So, the correct answer is 50.24.
