Fan & Medal!!! Please help with my math question. Attachment below--->

OpenStudy (blm1):

OpenStudy (anonymous):

where are the points?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

anywhere?

OpenStudy (blm1):

What points?

OpenStudy (hexiflexidexi):

The probability is calculated by number of favourable outcomes (hitting the circle) over number of total outcomes (hitting the square). So basically, the probability is (the area of the circle)/(the area of the square).

OpenStudy (helpkay):

I would go with c idk are you doing pi X radius squared

OpenStudy (hexiflexidexi):

Do you know how to calculate those?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

guys you are confusing him

OpenStudy (helpkay):

her

OpenStudy (blm1):

Yes I'm working on it right now @HexiFlexiDexi and btw I'm not a he :D

OpenStudy (anonymous):

her* just a typ

OpenStudy (anonymous):

typo*

OpenStudy (blm1):

Ok isn't the area of the circle circumference x pi?

OpenStudy (blm1):

And the area of a square is length x width? 8 x 8

OpenStudy (hexiflexidexi):

It's pi (radius)^2

OpenStudy (hexiflexidexi):

The area of a circle^

OpenStudy (blm1):

Okay so the area of the circle is 50.27?

OpenStudy (hexiflexidexi):

Yea, approximately~

OpenStudy (blm1):

So 50.27 / 64? That = .78.5 so it's D?

OpenStudy (hexiflexidexi):

Oh, and I just realised, it is the probability of NOT hitting the circle--so its reversed

OpenStudy (hexiflexidexi):

Basically 100%-probability of hitting the circle

OpenStudy (blm1):

I'm sorry, but I just got really confused :(

OpenStudy (hexiflexidexi):

So 100-78.5

OpenStudy (hexiflexidexi):

Me bad, sorry...

OpenStudy (blm1):

K so it's B then (21.5) and no worries thx for the help :D

OpenStudy (helpkay):

no it would be c

OpenStudy (blm1):

Dude how?

OpenStudy (blm1):

The are of the circle is 50.24 and the square is 48

OpenStudy (blm1):

no sry 64

OpenStudy (hexiflexidexi):

No...8 times 8 is 64 :)

OpenStudy (helpkay):

because pi X the 4x4 wich is 8 is the ^ = ^ 64 wich is one of your answers

OpenStudy (hexiflexidexi):

Wait, what?

OpenStudy (helpkay):

i meant 4 + 4

OpenStudy (blm1):

I'm lost

OpenStudy (hexiflexidexi):

What?

OpenStudy (blm1):

I thought the answer was right kay

OpenStudy (hexiflexidexi):

Okay: Area of the circle=pi(4x4)=16pi=50.26

OpenStudy (hexiflexidexi):

Area of square: 8x8=64

OpenStudy (blm1):

alright this was for a practice test and I didn't really learn about that so that's why I was asking. I will let you know if I got it right in about 3 minutes.

OpenStudy (hexiflexidexi):

50.26/64=0.785

OpenStudy (hexiflexidexi):

=78.5%

OpenStudy (helpkay):

whatever do what you want i'm just saying

OpenStudy (hexiflexidexi):

100-78.5%=21.5%

OpenStudy (hexiflexidexi):

How did you get C? @helpkay

OpenStudy (blm1):

Okay I have one more question I will post in a second

OpenStudy (hexiflexidexi):

K (bye I have to sleep, I have a calculus test tmr)~ Good luck~

OpenStudy (helpkay):

because if you do pi x 8 squared it is 64

OpenStudy (blm1):

No that's 200.96 (3.14 x 64) =200.96

OpenStudy (blm1):

The answer was 21.5 (B)
