Question 10.
The cost of an 8-inch pizza is $4. The cost of a 16-inch pizza is$13. Use 3.14 as an approximation for π.
a) How much greater is the area of the 16-inch pizza than the area of the 8-inch pizza?
Greater is the area of the 16-inch pizza than the area of the 8-inch pizza is 150.72 square inches,

Explanation:
Area of 8 inch pizza radius is 8 inch ÷ 2 = 4 inch, Area of 8 inch pizza = 3.14 X 4 inch X 4 inch = 50.24 square inch,
Area of 16 inch pizza is 16 inch ÷ 2 = 8 inch, Area of 16 inch pizza = 3.14 X 8 inch X 8 inch = 200.96 square inch,
Now the area of the 16-inch pizza than the area of the 8-inch pizza is 200.96 square inch – 50.24 square inch = 150.72 square inches.

b) Which is a better deal? Explain your reasoning.
8 inch pizza,

Explanation:
Cost of 16 inch pizza is $13, So cost of 1 inch pizza is$13/16 = $0.8125, Cost of 8 inch pizza is$4, So cost of 1 inch pizza is $4/8 =$0.5 therefore it is better to buy 8 inch pizza as in 1 inch it cost $0.5 than 16 inch pizza in which 1 inch is$0.8125.

Question 11.
Four identical drinking glasses each have a radius of 5 centimeters. The glasses are arranged so that they touch each other as shown in the figure below. Find the area of the green portion. Use 3.14 as an approximation for π.

The area of the green portion is 21.5 square centimeters,

Explanation:
Given to find the area of green portion so it is the area of square minus area of 4 quadrants so ((the area of square – 4($$\frac{1}{4}$$ X πr2)) = 10 cms x 10 cms – 4($$\frac{1}{4}$$ X 3.14 X 5 cms X 5 cms) = 100 square cms – 3.14 X 25 square cms = 100 square cms – 78.5 square cms =  21.5 square centimeters.

Question 12.
The figure is made up of trapezoid ABCD and a semicircle. The height of trapezoid ABCD is $$\frac{5}{6}$$ the length of $$\overline{B C}$$. Find the area of the figure. Use $$\frac{22}{7}$$ as an approximation for π.

The area of trapezoid is 1/2 X (base1 + base2) X height, where base1 and base2 are lengths of parallel sides, we have height as $$\frac{5}{6}$$ X 124.8 m = 104 m, Now area of trapezoid is 1/2 X (124.8 m + 119 m) X 104 m = 1/2 X 243.8 m X 104 m =12,677.6 square meters. First we calculate area of circle as diameter is 119 m so radius = 119 m/2 = 59.5 m, Area = 3.14 X 59.5 m x 59.5 m = 11,116.385 square meter, Now area of semicircle is half the area of circle = 11,116.385 square mt/2 = 5,558.1925 square meter, So total area of trapezoid ABCD and a semicircle is
