A rectangular mat has a length of 12 in. and a width of 4 in. Drawn on the mat are three circles. Each circle has a radius of 2
in. Some friends play a game throwing darts onto the mat to see who can land a dart in one of the circles.
Assuming that a dart always lands on the mat, what is the probability that a dart thrown at random will land inside one of the circles?
Use 3.14 to estimate Pi.
Enter your answer, as a decimal rounded to the nearest hundredth, in the box.
P(landing in a circle) =

Hehe, these are fun to do. There are two ways to do this kind of problem. You can use the pythagorean theorem or we can use the distance formula.
Distance formula:
Pythagorean Theorem:
Distance formula is better if you're finding distance between two coordinates. The Pythagorean Theorem only really works for independent values. If I had 2 sides of a triangle, and I needed to find the third, I'd use this equation to find it. In this case, we'll use the distance formula.
I'll work the first one out for you:
x1 y1 x2 y2
(3, 2) & (7, 4)
v

There's your answer!
