Math Problem Help....!

314/400 is about .785, so thats about a 78.5% probability.......
If a circle with a radius of 10 cm is placed inside a square with a length of 20 cm, what is the
probability that a dart thrown will land inside of the circle?

-
Area of the square = 20^2 = 400 sqcm
Area of the circle = pi * 10^2 = 314.1592654 sqcm

Probability = 314.1592654/400 = 0.785398163


Answer:
The probability that a dart thrown will land inside of the circle = 78.54%

Assuming, of course, that the dart ONLY hits EITHER the area inside the circle OR the area outside the circle and inside the square.

-
The probability will be the ratio of the area of the circle to the area of the square (the total dart board).

Area of the circle is pi*r^2, or 100*pi or about 314.
Area of the square is 20^2 or 400.

314/400 is about .785, so that's about a 78.5% probability.

area circle/area square

pi(r^2)/s^2

pi(10^2)/20^2

100pi/400

1/4(pi)

100pi/400

Area of the circle/area of the square
