Which is a better pizza according to math?

The formula for the area of a circle, pi r^2, is traditionally attributed to ancient Greek mathematicians. The method for calculating the area of a circle was likely known in some form by earlier cultures, such as the Egyptians and Babylonians, but it was the Greeks who provided a more rigorous mathematical treatment.
One of the key figures in this development was Archimedes of Syracuse (c. 287-212 BCE). Archimedes used a method involving the approximation of the circle by inscribed and circumscribed polygons to derive the area formula. By increasing the number of sides of these polygons, he could get an increasingly accurate approximation of the circle's area and demonstrated that the area is indeed pi r^2.
While Archimedes did not have the modern notation for π or the concept of limits, his work laid the foundation for later mathematicians to rigorously prove the area formula using calculus and more advanced mathematical techniques.

It is amazing how if you shop based on mathematical value, a person can purchase more.

[@Loralanthalas]

It drives me nuts my husband REFUSES to consider cost per unit. It's just the two of us in a 2150 sf house. We have PLENTY of storage room. And I swear to God if he can pay for a trial size he will. 😭

[@vt.physics]

Now, which has a better crust to toppings ratio? 😋🍕

[@GabrielGarcia-300]

@vt.physics That's a interesting looking pizza, why is the crust so dark?

[@vt.physics]

​@GabrielGarcia-300 it's charcoal pizza 🍕

[@GabrielGarcia-300]

@vt.physics I'd have to look into that one day. I've never seen it around and New England has a million pizza places

[@darkworlddenizen]

But you'd have to determine the price per square inch to see which one you're getting the better deal on.

[@fayeandali]

Heck yeah! I figured, because it's all just Pi(r^2) and 81 pi is a lot more pies than 72 pi

[@vincentvaleur3573]

You don’t need to multiply by pi. since the equations are (almost) the same, you can cancel it out.

[@NullScar]

People will say the pizza is round.

[@retailergifts5832]

Not gonna lie probably most useful video for us pizza lovers

[@monicas2461]

I prefer the two smaller ones because crust is my favorite part!

[@ingamelevi1929]

But it really depends on the price. If you're getting 2x 12" pizzas for $30 or 1x 18" for $60, then leaving out 28" saves you $30

[@GabrielGarcia-300]

VT is the only person I've seen talk about crazy math equations when it came to pizza 😂

[@bcheung2008]

Basic! What about the different flavours you get in two?

[@GabrielGarcia-300]

You can do a preference of topings on 1 half, and another on the other half

[@bcheung2008]

@@GabrielGarcia-300 you get more crusty edge in 2

@bcheung2008 huh? Sorry that statement is hard to understand, can you elaborate?

Ayo the "pizzas" here

[@littlemonster498]

Price is the determining factor here I'd say

[@foo2hp]

pls use metric system

[@chrisking7735]

I worked in a pizza place a while ago and I think the dough weight should matter more and in this case the 2 12s have more stuff but less area

[@jack_cb2252]

the ikea in the background 😊

[@OddC00kie9]

You should have shown the price. Either Way, love your videos cause I also find you pretty and smart.

[@oober3690]

I love this.

[@JeffGoris]

You've not answered the question that you asked You've answered the question of which has the greatest area. You need to look at price as well to answer your question.

[@tomasjonesz9701]

The question assumes they are the same price. Otherwise you'd have to then calculate price per sq in before the comparison is valid.

My favorite pi in this equation has cheese on it

Are you on an MSC cruise?

I actually saw a video which explains this exact same topic few years ago so I know the 1st option is win. companies in india sometimes uses this trick in festival.

[@danmel3978]

Assuming theyre proportional?

[@jdcaintic9526]

I'll just have burger.

[@etherealpikachu2343]

Not to mention you have 2 crusts on the 12 inch. So you would also probably reduce the area considerably even more.

[@ktc227]

Better deal is a psycho-social idea where the parts are better than the whole. Assuming both cost the same, two medium pies with 8 slices each feed more by slice than one large pie of 8-10 slices.

[@tomasjonesz9701]

Also factor in the ability to choose different toppings or styles for the two pies, which adds even more value. If you go half/half on each pizza, that's still 4 combinations compared to 2. Variety in flavors/nutrition adds it's own value as well.

Why pizza black

Hey VT! Love your content! I was wondering if you have any fun non fiction astronomy/physics book recommendations that dont require a physics degree to understand? Sci-fi recs are welcome too 🤗

Shouldve calculated the weight.

[@jameskapaun3325]

I'm surprised I didn't see a pineapple on the pizza battle.

[@Poopick]

If i understand the calculation corrsctly, i would preffer the 2pizza option, cuz my stomache aint gonna house a whole bigg pizza in it. I would get too full too quickly. But maybe my brain would be like "wow thats a lot of pizzaz (only 2), thats way too much for me"

[@tomasjonesz9701]

Having frozen leftover pizza is awesome. Cold pizza adds yet another different experience for the same dish.

[@Poopick]

@@tomasjonesz9701 i always like to upgrade my leftovers with extra seasoning and ingredients.

Why does it look burnt? Like did you wanted extra charcoal seasoning?

super cool! i hate maths (dyscalculia lol) but this is really engaging

[@kumardigvijaymishra5945]

Factor in the fact that periphery of pizza is thicker(h2) compared to thickness(h1) on inside of pizza. As a result, model pizza as concentric cylinders, not as concentric circles.

[@tomasjonesz9701]

Depends if you are eating the pizza for the crust. Considering most people leave the crust... (I like eating crust because crusty bread is awesome, but I wouldn't value it even remotely as much as the inner part with toppings, cheese, and sauce.)

[@walter3075]

Easy 12+12= 24 more than 18

[@anubis7630]

Well depends on price purely! N today people have lost there god damn minds!!! Pizza ! Dough some toppings!!! N you think can charge over $20 a piece for literally for cheapest ingredients!! I think we should pay $11 for milk $13 for bread then maybe $20 a pizza be justified

Excluding math, I'm taking the two pizzas, because two pizzas are two pizzas instead of one (that's a 65% more pizza per pizza!)
