Answer:

<u>The dimensions of the sports field are 80 yards and 3 - 5x yards</u>

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Let's review the information provided to us to answer the question correctly:

Width of the sports field = At least 60 yards

Area of the sports field = 240 - 400x square yards

We can conclude the shape of the sports field is rectangular.

2. Find the dimensions of the sports field.

A. We need to find the Greatest Common factor between 240 and 400, this way:

The factors of 240 are: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 10, 12, 15, 16, 20, 24, 30, 40, 48, 60, 80, 120, 240 .

The factors of 400 are: 1, 2, 4, 5, 8, 10, 16, 20, 25, 40, 50, 80, 100, 200, 400 .

Then the greatest common factor is 80.

This GCF is also higher than 60, therefore it's one of the dimensions of the sports field.

Now, we calculate the other side of the sports, this way:

Second dimension of the sports field = (240 - 400x)/80

Second dimension of the sports field = 3 -5x

<u>The dimensions of the sports field are 80 yards and 3 - 5x yards</u>

Answer:

a) The probability is 0.04

b) The probability is 0.36

c) The pprobability is 0,25

d) The probability is 0.09

Step-by-step explanation:

Lets calculate areas:

the target has a radius of 10 inces, hence the target area has a area on 10²*π = 100π square inches.

a) A circle of 2 inches of radius has an area of 2²π = 4π square inches, hence the probability of hitting that area is 4π/100π = 1/25 = 0.04

b) If the dart s within 2 inches of the rim, then it is not at distance 8 inches from the center (that is the complementary event). The probability for the dart to be at 8 inches of the center is 8²π/100π = 64/100 = 16/25 = 0.64, thus, the probability that the dart is at distance 2 or less from the rim is 1-0.64 = 0.36.

c) The first quadrant has an area exactly 4 times smaller than the area of the target (each quadrant has equal area), thus the probability for the dart to fall there is 1/4 = 0.25

d) If the dart is within 2 inches from the rim (which has probability 0.36 as we previously computed), then it will be equally likely for the dart to be in either of the 4 quadrants (the area that is within 2 inches from the rim forms a ring and it has equal area restricted on each quadrant). Therefore, the probability for the dice to be in the first qudrant and within 2 inches from the rim is 0.36*1/4 = 0.09.
