A dartboard consists of a circle inscribed in a square. The area of the circle is square inches. The area of the square is 64 square inches.

A dartboard consists of a circle inscribed in a square.

Izzy randomly throws a dart at the square, and it lands inside the square. To the nearest percent, what is the probability that the dart lands inside the square but not on the circular dartboard? Use 3.14 for π.

22%
25%
75%
79%

Answer :

The probability that the dart lands inside the square but not on the circular dartboard is 22% option first is correct.

What is probability?

It is defined as the ratio of the number of favourable outcomes to the total number of outcomes, in other words, the probability is the number that shows the happening of the event.

We have:

A dartboard consists of a circle inscribed in a square.

The area of the square is 64 square inches.

We know the area of the square:

A = a²

a is the side of the square.

64 = a²

a = 8 inches

As the circle inscribed in a square.

The diameter will be 8 inches

The radius of the circle r = 8/2 = 4 inches

Area of the circle = πr² = π(4)² = 16×3.14 = 50.24 inches

P(dart will land on circular dartboard) = 50.24/64 = 0.785

P(dart will not land on circular dartboard) = 1 - 0.785 = 0.215

or

P(dart will not land on circular dartboard) = 21.5% ≈ 22%

Thus, the probability that the dart lands inside the square but not on the circular dartboard is 22% option first is correct.
