A target is constructed of a 6 ft diameter circular piece of plywood, on which a 2 ft diameter circle was painted. If a person i

s blindfolded, randomly throws a ball and hits the target, what is the probability they also hit within the smaller circle?

Answer:

The probability of the dart hitting the inner circle is 11.2 %.

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this problem we first need to find the area of the whole target and the area of the smaller target. Since they're both circular, their area is given by the formula:

area = pi*r²

For the whole target:

area target = pi*(6/2)² = 28.26 ft²

For the inner target:

area inner = pi*(2/2)² = 3.14 ft²

The probability that the dart will hit the inner area is:

p = area inner / area target = 3.14 / 28.26 = 0.112

The probability of the dart hitting the inner circle is 11.2 %.

Jerald jumped from a bungee tower. If the equation that models his height, in feet, is h = –16t2 + 729, where t is the time in s
Snezhnost [94]

Answer. First option: t > 6.25


Solution:

Height (in feet): h=-16t^2+729

For which interval of time is h less than 104 feet above the ground?

h < 104

Replacing h for -16t^2+729

-16t^2+729 < 104

Solving for h: Subtracting 729 both sides of the inequality:

-16t^2+729-729 < 104-729

-16t^2 < -625

Multiplying the inequality by -1:

(-1)(-16t^2 < -625)

16t^2 > 625

Dividing both sides of the inequality by 16:

16t^2/16 > 625/16

t^2 > 39.0625

Replacing t^2 by [ Absolute value (t) ]^2:

[ Absolute value (t) ]^2 > 39.0625

Square root both sides of the inequality:

sqrt { [ Absolute value (t) ]^2 } > sqrt (39.0625)

Absolute value (t) > 6.25

t < -6.25 or t > 6.25, but t can not be negative, then the solution is:

t > 6.25
