Ms. Van Rybroek’s favorite part of the pizza is the crust. Which size pizza should she order to get 37.68 inches of crust
To calculate the total amount of crust on a pizza, we need to know the circumference of the pizza as well as the size of the crust.
Assuming that the crust makes up the outer edge of the pizza (equivalent to the circumference of the pizza), we can calculate the diameter of the pizza by dividing the circumference by pi (π) which is approximately equal to 3.14159.
To calculate the diameter of the pizza in inches, we use the formula:
Diameter = Circumference / π
Given that Ms. Van Rybroek wants 37.68 inches of crust, we can set up the equation:
37.68 = Circumference
Now, we know that the circumference is equal to pi times the diameter. So, we can rearrange our equation:
37.68 = π * (Diameter)
Rearranging again to solve for diameter:
Diameter = 37.68 / π
Diameter ≈ 12 inches
Therefore, Ms. Van Rybroek should order a 12-inch pizza to get approximately 37.68 inches of crust.
