Question

Geometry: Geometric Probability

A point in the figure is selected at random. Find the probability that the point will be in the shaded region?

a) 80% b)70% c)90% d)60%

Answer 1

I seriously am stuck. Am I supposed to guess? I think maybe 90%?
divide 360 into 4? = 90%?

Answer 2

use this :
(area of circle / area the square) * 100%

Answer 3

there is nothing given though?

Answer 4

nope, let the radius of that circle is 7 then the side of the square be 14, agree ?

Answer 5

so it would = 80% rounded? and could you explain how you got those numbers? lol thats what I don't understand.

Answer 6

that just assumed, u can also take the radius is 1 unit then the sides of the square is 2 units, which one do u like :)

Answer 7

ok so what you are saying is you can take any number for radius and *by 2 for a side of the square for thew equation for the answer?

Answer 8

nah, we have to comparing the area of both
(area of circle / area the square) * 100%
pi r^2 / (side)^2 * 100%

Answer 9

ok gotcha. so I got the correct answer right?

Answer 10

my calculation says it is 78.5 %

Answer 11

thank you so much

Answer 12

welcome,
so what should as ur choice's answer ?

Answer 13
