The square box is enough to fit the pizza with a diameter of 10 inches inside. Since the area of the square box is more than the area of the pizza, the pizza fits easily in the square box.
The area of the circle is
Ac = πr² = πd²/4 sq. units
Where r is the radius and d is the diameter of the circle.
The area of the square is given by
As = s² sq. units
Where s is the length of the side of a square.
It is given that a pizza(in a circular shape) with a diameter d = 10 in is to be placed in a square box of the same length as the diameter of the pizza.
So,
The area of pizza is
Ap = Ac = πd²/4 sq. units
= π(10)²/4
= 25π
= 78.54 sq. in
Then, the area of the square box with the length same as the diameter of the pizza is,
As = d²
= 10²
= 100 sq. in
Since the area of the square is more than the area of the pizza (100 sq. inch > 78.54 sq. inch), the pizza easily fits into the square box.
