A pizza restaurant has a promotion?

For $15, select either two mediums pizzas, each with a 12" diameter, or an extra large pizza with an 18" diameter. Which is the better deal and why?A pizza restaurant has a promotion?
Find the area of each:



2 medium pizzas: 2 x (pi x (6)^2) = 72 x pi

1 extra large pizza: 1 x (pi x (9)^2) = 81 x pi



Extra large is the better deal for the consumer based on the total area of the pizza that they are paying for.
Two mediums. 12 is smaller than 18 but you have two 12 inch pizzas which makes 24.A pizza restaurant has a promotion?
pie* = pi(r^2) ... plug and chug for both cases, and compare areas.



*As in pizza pie. I think I am the only person on here to use this in the right context with the right spelling !!!!!
