Answer:
The square pizza should be 15.03 x 15.03.
The circular pizza wont fit in a box made for the square pizza, since the diameter of the circular pizza is greater than the side of the square pizza.
Step-by-step explanation:
In order to solve this problem we first need to calculate the area of the circular pizza, it's given by the following formula:
area = pi*(d/2)² = 3.14*(16/2)² = 200.96 square inches
Each slice has the following area:
slice = area/8 = 200.96/8 = 25.12 square inches
The area of a square pizza is given by:
area = width²
This is to be divided in 9 squares, so:
slice = area/9 =( width²)/9
25.12 = (width²)/9
width² = 25.12*9 = 226.08
width = sqrt(226.08) = 15.03 inches
The square pizza should be 15.03 x 15.03.
