A Pteri with a light appetite could not finish his Rainbow Melt Pizza. In fact, he could only eat exactly half of it.
If the diameter of the pizza was 50cm, and the half-pizza was a perfect semicircle, what is the area of the smallest square box, in square centimetres, that could contain the half pizza? Please disregard the thickness of the box, round to the nearest whole number

You said, "smallest square box", meaning all sides equal. The diameter of the half-pizza is 50. This is the length of the straight edge where the pizza has been cut.
Since we're dealing with a square (not rectangular) box, the sides must be at least 50 cm.
The area is 50 *50 = 2500 cm square

50 cm i think because the hight of the pizza stays the same.
