Jude:
The circular region has area (6)2*π = 36*π = 113.097
The area of the square is 132 = 169
To find the required probability, what percentage of the total area of the square is inside the circular region?

Hi Jude G., the probability is equal to the quotient of the area of the shaded circular region divided by the area of the dartboard, right?05/22/20
