A circular piece of dough once baked has a thickness of "a" centimetres.
And a radius of "z" centimetres.
What is the total volume of the bread?

Must be a trick question.
Obviously thickness x pi x radius is the simple answer.
But what about the volume of the hollow spaces inside the bread caused by the yeast?

The radius is z ... not r.
And the thickness is equal to a.
You have two days to figure it out.

Is it a doughnut?
If so, and "z" is the average radius... I would say:
V = pi*a²/4*2*pi*z
V = 1/2*pi²*a²*z

Thank you for inviting donuts into this conversation

Way off!
It is just a simple cylinder. ... NO DONUT
Clue:
Thickness "a" could be thin or thick.

Ok...
Its not: pi*z²*a?
Edit: Oh is see (I think) it's pizza!
