Answer:
(49π)/8 = 6.125π square inches
Step-by-step explanation:
The area of a circle is given by the formula ...
A = πr² . . . . . where r is the radius
A "14-inch" pizza has a diameter of 14 inches, so a radius of 7 inches. Then the area of the whole pizza is ...
A = π(7 in)² = 49π in²
The area of one of 8 equal slices will be 1/8 of that, or ...
slice area = (49π in²)/8 = 6.125π in²
The area of one slice of pizza is (49/8)π = 6.125π square inches.
