## nuccioreggie one year ago Jake throws a dart that hits the square shown below: A square is drawn. A circle of radius 8 units touches the sides of the square. What is the probability that the dart hits a point in the circle? 16% 21.5% 64% 78.5%

1. nuccioreggie

I think its D i know its right but i just want to confirm with you i think its D thought @SolomonZelman

So the circle is inside the square, not outside?

3. nuccioreggie

Yes wats the answer

You want to compare the areas of the circle and the square. The circle has radius 8, so the square must have sides of 16. Take the ratio of the area of the circle to the area of the square.

Its B

??????????????!!

7. anonymous

Right on!

8. anonymous

Oops! Sorry, it's not B.

9. nuccioreggie

Then wat is it

10. anonymous

Calculate the following$P=\frac{ \pi r ^{2} }{ l ^{2} }\times 100%$

11. nuccioreggie

Oh its C

12. anonymous

That's the area of the circle divided by the area of the square times 100 %

13. nuccioreggie

Its C?

Not what I get

15. nuccioreggie

@SolomonZelman. Please come and help because no one is helping me correcly thank you (:

16. nuccioreggie

I got A

17. anonymous

Sorry to disappoint but my help is correct. Are you able to multiply pi x 8^2?

18. nuccioreggie

Then whats the correct answer i got A

19. anonymous

What do you get for pi x 8^2

20. nuccioreggie

By your no help

Good luck.
