To calculate the pizza area:
\[ PA = \pi \left(\frac{PD}{2}\right)^2 \]
Where:
The pizza area is the total surface area of a pizza, calculated using its diameter. This measurement helps in determining the size of the pizza for better planning and comparison with other pizzas.
Example 1:
Assume the following diameter:
Using the formula:
\[ PA = \pi \left(\frac{12}{2}\right)^2 = \pi \times 6^2 = \pi \times 36 \approx 113.10 \text{ in}^2 \]
The pizza area is approximately 113.10 in².
Example 2:
Assume the following diameter:
Using the formula:
\[ PA = \pi \left(\frac{16}{2}\right)^2 = \pi \times 8^2 = \pi \times 64 \approx 201.06 \text{ in}^2 \]
The pizza area is approximately 201.06 in².
