Answer:

The largest pizza is Rectangular Pizza .

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to know which pizza is the largest you have to find the area for each shape using the formulas :

Rectangular pizza,

[tex]area = length \times width[/tex]

Let length = 8 inches,

Let width = 16 inches,

[tex]area = 8 \times 16[/tex]

[tex]area = 128 \: \: {inches}^{2} [/tex]

Circular pizza,

[tex]area = \pi \times {r}^{2} [/tex]

Let r = 5 inches,

[tex]area = \pi \times {5}^{2} [/tex]

[tex]area = 25\pi[/tex]

[tex]area = 78.5 \: \: {inches}^{2} [/tex]

Triangular pizza,

[tex]area = \frac{1}{2} \times base \times height[/tex]

Let base = 14 inches,

Let height = 10 inches,

[tex]area = \frac{1}{2} \times 14 \times 10[/tex]

[tex]area = \frac{1}{2} \times 140[/tex]

[tex]area = 70 \: \: {inches}^{2} [/tex]
