Question

A dart is tossed and hits the dart board shown.

Answer 1

Answer:

4.9%

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the probability of the dart hitting the red circle, we need to find the total area of the board and the area of the red circle.

The area of the board is 16 in * 16 in = 256 in2

The area of the red circle is pi * 2^2 = 12.5664 in2

So the probability of the dart landing on the red circle is:

Probability = area_circle / area_board = 12.5664 / 256 = 0.0491 = 4.91%

Rounding to nearest tenth, we have 4.9%
