Question

At a carnival, the dart game uses a square game board with a side length of 8 feet. In order to win the game, the dart you throw must land in one of the four non-overlapping circles located on the board each with a diameter of 18 in. If a dart lands on the board, what is the probability percent to the nearest whole number of the dart landing on one of the four circles?

Answer 1

are the circles concentric?

Answer 2

No.

Answer 3

area of 4 circles
------------- * 100
area of square board

Answer 4

recall that area of a circle = pi r^2 where r is radius
r = half of the diameter

Answer 5

I like where cwrw238 is going
there are 4 circles so multiply the area of one circle by 4

Answer 6

convert the units of the board to inches

Answer 7

and you have your probability

Answer 8

yup

Answer 9

Thank you so much!
