So there's two pizza specials at a pizza place...
One is a 12" pizza and 12" garlic fingers (basically, cheese pizza with lots of cheese) - or another special is one 18" pizza.
Which one has more in it? 2 12" pizzas or one 18" pizza?
We got the 18" one...

Okay, if I think back to highschool math, you're gonna come out on top with the 18 inch. And here's why
a (area) = p(pi) *r (radius)squared
so, with the 2 12 inch pizzas, the calculation is as follows:
a=3.14x6(squared)
a=3.14x36
a=113
but you got two pizzas, so that's an area of 226
but with the 18 inch, here's the calculation
a=3.14x9(squared)
a=3.14x81
a=254.34
which is more than 226.
so you are getting 28.34 more with the 18 inch.
I'm available all week for your calculating dilemmas. Thanks high school math. I'm glad I (half) paid attention.
