Three people whose heights are 6’4” , 5’6” and 5’2” decide to measure a giant tree. They notice that when they all three wrap themselves tightly around the tree together (fingertips to fingertips) they can circle the tree entirely. Find the diameter of the tree.
Assume that everytime a dart is thrown at one of the dartboards that it hits the board and that it has an equal chance of hitting the board at any place. With those assumptions what is the probability that a dart will hit the small circle when a person throws a dart at the dart board? If the dart was thrown 100 times, how many would you expect to hit the bulls eye? What percentage would that be? Would it make a difference if the colored circle were moved on the dart board? Explain.
Board 1 
Board 2

When I order pizza I never know if I should order 2 medium or 1 large or if 3 medium is the same as 2 large or what. Then when there is a sale things really confuse me. How can I know? Maybe if you answer the questions: " Do 3 medium pizza really equal 2 large pizzas? and If not, which is more?" It would be enough information to help me know what to order.
The following chart may be helpful to organize information to answer the questions:
LARGE PIZZA MEDIUM PIZZA
Diameter = ______ Diameter = ______
Radius = ______ Radius = ______
Total Area = ______ Total Area = ______
I have a friend that never eats the crust on a pizza and the other day we were discussing how much of the pizza is wasted for people that don't like crust? We thought that if we knew what percentage of the pizza was crust it would help us to know better how much was being wasted.

Diameter of toppings = ______ Diameter of toppings = ______
Radius of toppings = ______ Radius of toppings = ______
Area of toppings = ______ Area of toppings = ______
Area of crust = ______ Area of crust = ______What percent of the large pizza is crust?
