A soldier is parachute training. He jumps out of
plane high enough that the pilot determines the
soldier will land somewhere in an 240 foot radius
land zone. The pilot forgot to mention to the
soldier that the parachute has very little
maneuverability (no steering) and there are 30
trees in the landing zone. Each tree from the air
practically outlines a circle with a radius of 8 feet.
What is the geometric probability that the soldier
will land in a tree?
