Although We Are A Few Days Into 2020,

let us start the year on a serious note,


Diana loves pizzas, I never ever eat them, but that aside there is the fundamental question, two 12" or one 18" if both options are the same price, which to choose? i.e. which will give you the greatest pizza area for your pounds/dollars? before you scroll down for the mathematically correct answer, it may not be what you think, the difference is 28.3 in²

so should you get a large pizza or two medium pizzas? Primer magazine has the math to show that one 18-inch large pizza has more pizza in it than two 12-inch medium pizzas,  


Area of two 12” pizzas:


12/2 = 6   6×6=36   36xπ = 113.1 in² x 2 = 226.2 in²

Area of one 18” pizza:

18/2=9   9×9=81   81xπ = 254.5 in²


the numbers don’t lie, so I am glad Primer cleared that one up! it just goes to show a 2 for 1 deal might not always be the best deal.
