Two pizzerias are competing for business. Pizzeria A offers a square pizza with sides measuring 40cm, while Pizzeria B offers a circular pizza with a diameter of 45cm. Which pizzeria offers more pizza (in terms of area), and by how many square centimetres?

Answer explanation

Calculate the area of the square pizza (Pizzeria A)

- A = 40 cm × 40 cm = 1,600 cm²

Calculate the area of the circular pizza (Pizzeria B)

- Formula for area of a circle: A = πr²

 - radius = 45 cm ÷ 2 = 22.5 cm

- A = π × (22.5 cm)²

- A ≈ 3.14 × 506.25 cm² ≈ 1,589.63 cm²

Compare the areas

- Square pizza (Pizzeria A): 1,600 cm²

- Circular pizza (Pizzeria B): 1,589.63 cm²

- Difference = 1,600 cm² - 1,589.63 cm² = 10.37 cm²

A school is renovating a classroom with an unusual shape. The room consists of a rectangle measuring 85m by 62m, with a semicircle attached to one of the longer sides. What is the total area of the floor that needs to be covered with new tiles?

Answer explanation

Area of rectangle

= 85 m × 62 m = 527 m²

Calculate the area of the semicircle:

 The diameter of the semicircle is equal to the length of the rectangle 

   - Radius of semicircle = 85 m ÷ 2 = 42.5 m

   - Area of full circle = πr² = π(42.5)² ≈ 567 m²

   - Area of semicircle = 567 m² ÷ 2 ≈ 284 m²

Total area = Area of rectangle + Area of semicircle

         = 527 m² + 284 m²
