Detailed Solution

If the size of the cookie is 8 inches, then the diameter is 8 inches.

Radius = 4 inches

The area of a circle is = πr12

 Area of the larger cookie

= 3.14 × 4 × 4

= 50.24 square inches

If the size of the cookie is 4 inches, then the diameter is 4 inch

Radius = 2 inches

Similarly,

Area of smaller cookie =  πr22

= 3.14 × 2 × 2

= 12.56 square inches

Therefore, the area of the two 4-inch cookies Area is.

12.56 + 12. 56 = 25.12

But the area of an 8-inch cookie was 50.24 square units.

 The difference between the areas of the cookie ordered and the cookie received:

= 50.24 - 25.12

= 25.12 square inches.

Hence the customer does not get more cookies. The bakery owner’s claim is incorrect.
