Answer: B) 25

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: A rectangular dartboard has an area of 648 square centimeters.

The triangular part of the dartboard has an area of 162 square centimeters.

If a dart is randomly thrown at the dartboard. Assuming the dart lands in the rectangle, the probability (in percent) that it lands inside the triangle will be :

$\dfrac{162}{648}\times100=25\%$

Hence, the probability that it lands inside the triangle = 25%.
