Reply to comment by Redpandaling in [OC] Pizza eating challenge by a non-professional eater in a local competition by Tambury

If it were square, but a rectangular pizza can surprise you with any width. I know I was surprised when a 12" was like 8 inch wide. I wasn't too amused.

12” by 8” makes it approximately the same area as a circular 12” pizza

Edit: added “approximately”. I found a pizza place stating their 12” pizza was 96square inches. And then made my comment. Then i did the math. So either they have rectangular pizza or their 12“ isn’t 12”. Either way I did the math to double check and it’s definitely slightly smaller than a 12” round pizza which has 113.1sq inches.

Round (12 diameter) : (12/2)^2 * pi =~ 113
Rectangle (12x8) : 12 * 8 = 96
It's smaller by about 15%

lol, you also made me calculate again, like did I make an error or something, better check again.

Thinking about it now, 15% less is as if someone stole a whole slice (assuming 8 pizza slices which is pretty common) and then took a bite out of a 2nd slice.
