If a dart were thrown randomly at the dart board shown below what is the probability that it would land in the area between the circle with radius 2 mm and the class=

Respuesta :

Answer: A. 31%

Step-by-step explanation:

First you need to find the area within each circle. This can be found by using the formula: pi * r^2

The area of the circle with radius 8mm is 64 * pi. The area of the circle with radius 14mm is 196 * pi.

196 * pi = 615.75216

64 * pi = 201.06193

Now divide the larger area by the smaller area to get how many times larger the large area is than the small area.

615.75216 / 201.06913 = 3.06239

3.06239 rounds up to 3.1

Now we know the radius of 14mm has an area 3.1 times the area of 8mm. The area of an 8mm radius has 31% of the area of a 14mm radius.
