$A_{Slice} = 20.11$ $A_("Slice")=20.11$ ${in}^{2}$ $"in"^2$

Explanation:

.

The area of a circle is given by:

$A_{Circle} = π r^{2}$ $A_("Circle")=pir^2$ where $r$ $r$ is the radius of the circle which is half the diameter.

$r = \frac{d}{2} = \frac{16}{2} = 8$ $r=d/2=16/2=8$ in

$A_{Pizza} = π {(8)}^{2} = 64 π$ $A_("Pizza")=pi(8)^2=64pi$

$A_{Slice} = \frac{A_{Pizza}}{10} = \frac{64 π}{10} = 6.4 π = 6.4 (3.14) = 20.11$ $A_("Slice")=A_("Pizza")/10=(64pi)/10=6.4pi=6.4(3.14)=20.11$ ${in}^{2}$ $"in"^2$
