Question

Wendy throws a dart at this square-shaped target:

A square is shown with sides labeled 10. A shaded circle is shown in the center of the square. The diameter of the circle is 2.

Part A: Is the probability of hitting the black circle inside the target closer to 0 or 1? Explain your answer and show your work. (5 points)

Part B: Is the probability of hitting the white portion of the target closer to 0 or 1? Explain your answer and show your work. (5 points)

Answer 1

i think i can help with the first thing

Answer 2

Part A: closer to 0

Part B: closer to 1

Step-by-step explanation:

area of square: 10 x 10 = 100

area of circle: π x 1 x 1 = 3.14

The chances of hitting the black circle is lower than half, so it is closer to 0.

The chances of hitting the white part of the target is greater than half, so it is closer to 1.
