Take
\begin{align*}
Radius&=z\\
Width&=a.
\end{align*}
Then
$$Volume=pi\cdot z\cdot\cdot z \cdot a=pizza.$$
- Expand $(a+b)^n$.
Solution:
\begin{align*}
(a+b)^n &= (a\; +\; b)^{n}\\
&= (a\;\; +\;\; b)^{n}\\
&= (a\;\;\; +\;\;\; b)^{n}\\
&= (a\;\;\;\; +\;\;\;\; b)^{n}\\
&= (a\;\;\;\;\; +\;\;\;\;\; b)^{n}\\
&= \ldots
