A large pizza has a diameter of 9 inches. Which of the following is the area of the pizza in terms of pi ()?
A. 11.25 πin2
B. 29.57 πin2
C. 18.35 πin2
D. 20.25 πin2
We need to find the radius in order to find the area of the pizza.
Radius of pizza
The area of the pizza
But r=4.5
Thus, the area of the pizza is 20.25 
in2.
NOTE: 
is used as is since values of pi may vary e.g. 3.14, 3.142, 22/7. Hence we use pi symbol to generalize.
Therefore, the Correct Answer is D.

Q #2: A teacher has asked all the students in the class which data visualizer he will use to show relationship between their scores and number of subjects. Which of the following is the best way to display the frequency of each day of the week?
A. Histogram
B. Scatterplot
C. Pie graph
D. Bar graph
Answer Explanation
Histograms are used to present frequency of data of one variable over the other. On the other hand, a bar graph is used to compare the two variables with the rectangles not touching one another as in histograms. Scatter plots are used to show the correlations between two variables. In this case, the teacher will be able to use scatter plot to establish the correlation between test scores and the subjects.
