The figure below shows a shaded circular region inside a larger circle: A shaded circle is shown inside another larger circle. The radius of the smaller circle is labeled as r and the radius of the larger circle is labeled as R. On the right side of the image is written r equal to 2 inches and below r equal to 2 inches is written R equal to 5 inches. What is the probability that a point chosen inside the larger circle is not in the shaded region?

@Michele_Laino please help last one

OpenStudy (anonymous):

where is the figure?

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

first step: we have to compute the area of both circle

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

circles*

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Lol you don't need the figure for this one

OpenStudy (nuccioreggie):

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

we have: A1= 3.14* 5*5=...? A2= 3.14*2*2=...?

OpenStudy (nuccioreggie):

78.5 12.56

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

correct! Now the probability to get a point inside the littlest circle, is: favorable cases/ possible cases= 12.56/78.5=...

OpenStudy (nuccioreggie):

0.16

OpenStudy (nuccioreggie):

so the answer is D

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

sorry, we have to compute the difference between those areas: 78.5-12.56=...?

OpenStudy (nuccioreggie):

65.94

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

correct!

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

now, the requested probability, is given by the subsequent formula: p= favorable cases / possible cases = 65.94/78.5=...?

OpenStudy (nuccioreggie):

0.84 SO ITS A

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

yes! that's right!

OpenStudy (nuccioreggie):

ok thanks
