If you let the radius be Z, then you can find the area of a pizza with a simple formula:
Pi * Z * Z = A

I love this
I wish I could award you with fake Internet points.
I once taught private lessons in math on calculating the area of a circle and I wanted to show the students how much cheaper per area a larger pizza is. So we of course got the diameters of pizzas from their favorite restaurant and started calculating. Then we found out that the normal sized pizza was actually the cheapest per area. It wasn‘t quite what we expected, but a very good math lesson for the attendees nonetheless: The owner lost money, because they were bad at maths.
You didn't consider the crust ratio, did you?
The crust tends to be a consistent width, so it represents a greater portion of a smaller pizza, shrinking the bit most people are there for.
...but hey, if you love the crust just as much, more power to ya!
That's why you order thin crust and get those toppings out to the edge
A thin crust pizza is just a small pizza stretched out to the size of a larger pizza ... it's paying for a large pizza while asking for a small pizza.
I tell this to my wife all the time but she still loves her thin crust pizza.
It depends what you want to get for your money.
A meal you like and enjoy eating?
Or the maximum amount of pizza-ish mass per dollar?
On this episode of: The internet goes to primary school
yeah, but
C_1 = pi * d = 3,14 * 18 = 56,52
C_2 = pi * d * 2 = 3,14 * 12 * 2 = 75,36
so the smaller ones have 50% more crust and are therefor more delicious.
At least you didn't measure the pizzas with your feet.
What's an inch?
1in = 2.54cm
