Area of a sector of a circle = (theta/360) x Pi x r2

Pizza 1. Area = (65/360) x pi x 36

Pizza 2. Area = (45/360) x pi x 49

Pizza 1 Area = 20.4 square inches

Pizza 2 Area = 19.2 square inches

Pizza 1 cost = $1.50

Pizza 2 cost = $1.70

Pizza 1 = 7.35 cents/square inch

Pizza 2 = 8.85 cents/square inch.

Pizza 1 is the better deal.

We don't know if it really is a sector of a circle. We don't know if the pizza was cut through the middle
