Newton's Method: Quiz
Problem 3
A pizza expands during cooking so that its diameter increases from 10 inches to 10.7 inches. Estimate the increase in the area of the pizza using Newton's Method.
Answers, problem 3
Area of pizza = π(d/2)2, where d is the diameter.
increase = π(10.7/2)2 - π(10/2)2 = ≈ 3.6225π in2
