Question

t hits the square dartboard shown below at a random point. Find the probability that the dart lands in the shaded circular region. Each side of the dartbozn, and the radius of the shaded region Is 2 in.the value 3.14 for T. Round your answer to the nearest hundredth.

Answer 1

Given:

Required:

To find the probability that the dart land will be in the shaded region.

Explanation:

Area of the circle is given by the formula:

$A=\pi r^2$

Where r = radius

Thus the area of the circular region

$\begin{gathered} =(3.14)\times(2)^2 \\ =3.14\times4 \\ =12.56\text{ square in.} \end{gathered}$

The area of the square is given by the formula:

$=(side)^2$

Thus the area of the given square

$\begin{gathered} =(6)^2 \\ =36\text{ square in.} \end{gathered}$

The probability of an event is given by the formula:

$P=\frac{number\text{ of possible outcomes}}{Total\text{ number of outcomes}}$

The probability that the dart land will be in the shaded region

$=\frac{Area\text{ of the shaded region}}{Area\text{ of the square}}$

Thus probability

$\begin{gathered} P=\frac{12.56}{36} \\ P=0.3488 \\ P=0.349 \end{gathered}$

Final answer:

Thus the probability that the dart land will be in the shaded region is 0.349.
