Using the area of a circle equation (shown in work) the answer should be 176.71cm^2

The area of crust that would cover the bottom of the pie is 176.625in^2

Data;

  • diameter = 15inch
  • π = 3.14
  • area of a circle = ?

Area of a Circle

To solve this problem, we need find the area of a circle and it is given by

[tex]A = \pi r^2[/tex]

  • a = area of circle
  • r = radius

let's find the radius of the circle

[tex]radius = \frac{diameter}{2} \\r = 15/2\\r = 7.5[/tex]

The area of the pie dish can be calculated as

[tex]a = \pi r^2\\a = 3.14 * 7.5^2\\a = 3.14 * 56.25\\a = 176.625in^2[/tex]

The area of the pie dish is 176.625 in^2
