Jaylen and Michael are making a pizza with a 16 inch diameter. They want to put three cheese blend on 5 of the 45° slices (including the crusts). Each handful of cheese covers 21 square inches, Calculate the area of the pizza slices that they want to put cheese on.

125.66 in2

Step-by-step explanation:

The area of the pizza is given by the formula:

Area = pi * radius^2

The radius of the pizza is half the diameter, so radius = 16/2 = 8 inches

Then, the total area is:

Area = pi * 8^2 = 64pi in2

They will put cheese in 5 of the 45° slices, so the total angle covered is 5 * 45° = 225°.

If the full area of the pizza is 360°, we can find the area covered by cheese using a rule of three:

360° -> 64pi in2

225° -> x in2

x = (225/360) * 64pi

x = 125.66 in2
