> 15. Two 12-inch pizzas have less pizza than one 18-inch pizza. That is surprising, because it's not true. Any calculator will confirm that 2 (2 π×6) > 2 π×9.

That is surprising, because it's not true. Any calculator will confirm that 2 (2 π×6) > 2 π×9. Or am I missing something?
- detaro 5y agoThat's the formula for circumfence, not area.
- _Microft 5y agoArea is calculated using pi*r^2: 2 * pi * 6^2 < pi * 9^2
- 1f60c 5y agoThank you. I feel kind of stupid now.
- bryanrasmussen 5y agoit's true but really what they're missing is the number and variety of toppings on these pizzas.
- rawling 5y agoVariety maybe, but surely number is also proportional to area (and presumably it's worse because "crust width" doesn't scale with diameter?)
- bryanrasmussen 5y agowell not if the big one is a margherita pizza.
