first find the area of the circle, can you do that? :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes

jigglypuff314 (jigglypuff314):

tell me what you get :) [radius = 4] then find the area of the square [side = 4+4 = 8]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the area for the circle is 50.24

OpenStudy (anonymous):

and the area for the square is 16

OpenStudy (anonymous):

right?

jigglypuff314 (jigglypuff314):

I got a little sidetracked, sorry ^_^" the circle is correct! :) try the square again, side = 8 area of square = (side)*(side)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh ok

OpenStudy (anonymous):

it's 64

jigglypuff314 (jigglypuff314):

yes :) now divide (area of circle) by (area of square) = the probability you want

OpenStudy (anonymous):

it's 0.785

jigglypuff314 (jigglypuff314):

multiply by 100 to make it a percent ^_^

OpenStudy (anonymous):

78.5%

jigglypuff314 (jigglypuff314):

tah dahhhh :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yay! thanks! But i was wondering if you could help with just 2 more ^^' sorry but you don't have to if you don't want to

jigglypuff314 (jigglypuff314):
