So to do this question we first need to find the area of the circle A=(3.14)r^2 Where r=8

OpenStudy (anonymous):

is that 8 times two

OpenStudy (taramgrant0543664):

8 to the power of 2 so it will be 64 so times that by pi

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okay

OpenStudy (anonymous):

200.96

OpenStudy (anonymous):

right?

OpenStudy (taramgrant0543664):

Yes so next step is to find the area of the square we know that the half of the side length is 8 so the whole side is 16 so using the 16 as the length find the area of the square

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okay

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so.....

OpenStudy (taramgrant0543664):

For a square area is A=LW So A=16x16 A=256

OpenStudy (taramgrant0543664):

So the circle takes up an 200.96 of the squares 256 so that's the probability 200.96/256 will give you some number multiply that number by 100 to get your percentage
