how many square inches of crust would it take to cover the bottom of a pie dish with a 15 inch diameter?
how many square inches of crust would it take to cover the bottom of a pie dish with a 15 inch diameter?
Area of a circle: π*r2
Now, to find the radius of a circle, divide the diameter by 2.
15/2=7.5
Now, let's use the radius to find the area to cover the bottom of the pie dish.
π*7.52 = 176.7145867644258697
Round to the hundredths.
π*7.52≈176.71 in.2
So you would need about 176.71 square inches of crust to cover the bottom of a pie dish with a diameter of 15 inches.
