The diameter of the pizza shown is 35 millimeters. Which measurement is closest to the area of the pizza in square millimeters?
The area of a circle is given by the formula A = πr^2, where r is the radius of the circle. Since the diameter is 35 millimeters, the radius is half of that, which is 17.5 millimeters.
Now, we can calculate the area of the pizza using the formula:
A = π(17.5)^2
A = π(306.25)
A ≈ 961.03 square millimeters
Therefore, the measurement closest to the area of the pizza is approximately 961 square millimeters.
