Question

If the uniform thickness of the pizza is 0.5 cm then what is the volume of doughused for making a medium sized pizza?

Answer 1

Given,

A pizza of thickness of 0.5 cm and size of the pizza is medium

To Find,

The volume of the dough used for making the medium-sized pizza

Solution,

A medium-sized pizza is generally 12inch in diameter.

⇒ The radius of the pizza is 6 inch

⇒ The radius of pizza = 14.24cm (1 inch = 2.54cm)

The volume of a cylinder = πr²h

where r = radius of the base and h = height of the cylinder

In the current scenario r = 14.24 cm and h = 0.5cm

Thus the volume of dough used = π × 14.24 × 14.24 × 0.5 = 318.36cm³

Taking π = 3.14

Henceforth, the volume of the dough used to make the medium-sized pizza of thickness 0.5cm is 318.36cm³.
