Question

Brenda throws a dart at this square-shaped target:

Part A: Is the probability of hitting the black circle inside the target closer to 0 or 1? Explain your answer. (5 points)

Part B: Is the probability of hitting the white portion of the target closer to 0 or 1? Explain your answer. (5 points)

Answer 1

guess what we need?

Answer 2

A square is shown with sides labeled 11. A shaded circle is shown in the center of the square. The diameter of the circle is 2.

Answer 3

never seen you out of your genie suit though

Answer 4

I can't post the pic. :(

Answer 5

ok we can still to it

Answer 6

Lol yeah that's true lol

Answer 7

like that?

Answer 9

yes

Answer 10

ok this is about areas

Answer 11

Lol I forgot I could draw it

Answer 12

yes

Answer 13

for the large square its 11 x 11 which = to 121

Answer 14

but im not sure how to find the area of the circle :(

Answer 15

the area of the circle is \(2\pi r=2\pi\) which is approximately \(6.28\)
the area of the square is \(11^2=121\)

Answer 16

oh so then the area of the circle is 6.28 and for the square its 121?

Answer 17

correct?

Answer 18

the area in the square outside the circle is \[121-6.28\] which is much larger than the area of the circle

Answer 19

oh yeah true

Answer 20

so the probability of getting inside the circle is closer to zero
the probability of getting outside is closer to 1

Answer 21

? i dont understand wat u just said : S @misty1212

Answer 22

oh oh ok thanks lol soooooo much ur a lifesaver!!!!!!!!!!

Answer 23

i take it you got it right?

Answer 24

Yeah I did :) Now i just have to type a lot and I'm done!! Thx :)

Answer 25

the probability of hitting inside the circle is about
\[\frac{6.28}{121}\]not a very big number

Answer 26

just nod your head and blink
