A 12-inch diameter pizza has 22 calories per square inch.

About how many calories are in the entire pizza?

Use 3.14 for pi.

Select from the drop-down menu to correctly complete the statement.

To answer this question, we find first the area of the pizza (which is a circle) through the equation,

A = πD²/4

where D is the diameter. Substituting the known values to the equation,

A = π (12 in) ²/4 = 113.04 in²

Then, we multiply the calculated value above to the amount of calorie per in².

amount of calorie = (113.04 in²) (22 cal/in²)

amount of calorie = 2486.88 cal

Therefore, each pizza will contain 2486.88 calories.
