Xavier ordered a large pizza for lunch. The pizza had a diameter of 18 inches, and was cut into 8 pieces. Xavier ate 4 full pieces. But he only ate 1/4 of the fifth piece.
Later on, Xavier felt very ill and went to see a doctor. The doctor couldn't help Xavier unless he knew the exact amount of pizza in his patient's stomach.
What should Xavier tell his doctor?

Hint
Use 3.141593 as pi. Don't round the decimals...the doctor needs to know the exact amount!Answer
Xavier ate 135.186658 sq. units of pizza.Area of pizza = 254.469005
(8 pieces) 1 piece = 31.808626
4 full pieces = 127.234502
1/4 of one slice = 7.952156
127.234502 + 7.952156 = 135.186658
