Question

An archery target is shown. The length of a side of the inner square is 6 ft and the length of a side of the outer square is 11 ft. If an arrow

Answer 1

55% i think

Explanation:

Answer 2

The answer is below

Explanation:

A square is a quadrilateral (has four sides and four angles). All the sides of a square has equal sides and all the angles of a square are equal with a measure of 90° each.

The area of inner square = length * length = 6 ft * 6 ft = 36 ft²

The area of outer square = length * length = 11 ft * 11 ft = 121 ft²

The probability that the arrow hits the inner square = area of inner square / area of outer square

The probability that the arrow hits the inner square = 36 ft² / 121 ft² = 0.3 = 30%
