Jake throws a dart that hits the square shown below: A square is drawn. A circle of radius 8 units touches the sides of the square. What is the probability that the dart hits a point in the circle? 16% 21.5% 64% 78.5%

OpenStudy (nuccioreggie):

I think its D i know its right but i just want to confirm with you i think its D thought @SolomonZelman

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So the circle is inside the square, not outside?

OpenStudy (nuccioreggie):

Yes wats the answer

OpenStudy (anonymous):

You want to compare the areas of the circle and the square. The circle has radius 8, so the square must have sides of 16. Take the ratio of the area of the circle to the area of the square.

OpenStudy (nuccioreggie):

Its B

OpenStudy (nuccioreggie):

??????????????!!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Right on!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Oops! Sorry, it's not B.

OpenStudy (nuccioreggie):

Then wat is it

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Calculate the following\[P=\frac{ \pi r ^{2} }{ l ^{2} }\times 100%\]

OpenStudy (nuccioreggie):

Oh its C

OpenStudy (anonymous):

That's the area of the circle divided by the area of the square times 100 %

OpenStudy (nuccioreggie):

Its C?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Not what I get

OpenStudy (nuccioreggie):

@SolomonZelman. Please come and help because no one is helping me correcly thank you (:

OpenStudy (nuccioreggie):

I got A

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Sorry to disappoint but my help is correct. Are you able to multiply pi x 8^2?

OpenStudy (nuccioreggie):

Then whats the correct answer i got A

OpenStudy (anonymous):

What do you get for pi x 8^2

OpenStudy (nuccioreggie):

By your no help

OpenStudy (anonymous):
