A large pizza has a diameter of 16 inches. Which of the following is the area of the pizza in terms of pi (π)?
A. 16 πin2
B. 64 πin2
C. 32πin2
D. 256 πin2
We are told to find the area of the pizza given its diameter. The pizza is in circular form, and its area is found as:
However, we are not given r, which is the radius of the circle. But we can find it from the given diameter as
Substituting r=8 in the equation of the area of a circle
Thus, the area of the pizza is 64 
in2.
NOTE: 
(Pi) remains as a symbol because values of Pi can vary from 22/7 to 3.1415 to 3.14 and so forth.
Therefore, the Correct Answer is B.

Q #1: A sweater that normally sells for $87 is marked 25% off. Which of the following estimates the sale price of the sweater?
A. $51
B. $36
C. $22
D. $65
Answer Explanation
: we are to find the selling price of the sweater after subtracting the mark off price.
Mark off value=mark off rate*original price
Mark of value=25%*$87
We convert 25% into a fraction, which become 25/100=0.25. Then
Mark of value=0.25*$87=$21.75
The selling price of the sweater will be the original price less the mark off value. Then,
Thus, the approximate selling price of the sweater is $65.

Q #2: Which of the following is the length of the unknown leg of a right triangle that has one leg length of 8 feet and a hypotenuse of 12 feet? (Round to the nearest tenth.)
A. 40 feet
B. 4 feet
C. 14.4 feet
D. 8.9 feet
Answer Explanation
The length of the unknown side of the rectangle can be found by using the Pythagoras theorem. We label the triangle from the given data as shown below
Let the unknown length be x.
Applying the Pythagoras theorem, the value of x is found as:
The unknown length of the triangle is approximately 8.9 feet.

Q #3: A recipe calls for 2.5 teaspoons of vanilla. 1 teaspoon equals approximately 4.93 mL. Which of the following is the correct amount of vanilla in mL?
A. 5.33 mL
B. 12.325 mL
C. 7.43 mL
D. 0.507 mL
Answer Explanation
We need to find how many mL are in 2.5 teaspoons. We need to use dimensional analysis to solve this problem as follows.
Converting between teaspoon and mL uses the following conversions:
Or
We want to end up with mL, we utilize the second conversion and set up the following equation.
Thus, 2.5 teaspoons can hold 12.325 mL.
