Go over the x axis up 5 and over the y axis left 1
5 pieces X 1.25 = 6.25
10-6.25 = 3.75 is the new length
We know that
if <span>the probability of hitting the blue circle is the same as the probability of hitting the green region
then
the area of the blue circle is equal to the area of the green region
Let
x----> diameter of the blue circle
area of the blue circle=pi*(x/2)</span>²----> (pi/4)*x² m²-----> equation 1
area of the green region=area of the larger circle-area of the blue circle
area of the green region=pi*(1/2)²-(pi/4)*x²
=(pi/4)-(pi/4)*x² m²----> equation 2
equate equation 1 and equation 2
(pi/4)*x²=(pi/4)-(pi/4)*x² -----> divide by (pi/4)---> x²=1-x²
2x²=1-----> x²=1/2----> x=1/√2-----> x=√2/2 m
the diameter of the blue circle is √2/2 m
