Question

If you are throwing a dart at the circular target pictured below, and it is equally likely to hit any point on the target, what is the probability that the dart will hit the rectangle?

Use 3.14 for ,and round your answer to the nearest tenth of a percent.

Answer 1

The area of the circle is 100pi in^2, and the area of the rectangle is 48in^2. This means 48/100pi of the circle is the target area, which is 15.3% of the total area, so D is the correct answer.
