Answer :
Answer: Square, 24 square inches
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
Diameter of round pizza [tex]d=16\ in.[/tex]
Side of square pizza [tex]a=15\ in.[/tex]
Area of circle [tex]\pi r^2[/tex]
The area of a square is [tex]a^2[/tex]
[tex]\therefore \text{Area of round Pizza}=\pi \times (\frac{16}{2})^2\\\Rightarrow A_1=\pi \times 8^2=201.088\ in.^2[/tex]
The area of square pizza is
[tex]A_2=15^2=225\ in.^2[/tex]
Clearly, the area of square pizza is more and the difference in their area is
[tex]\Rightarrow A_2-A_1=225-201.088=23.91\approx\ 24\ in.^2[/tex]
