Answer:
Area of square = x² (where x is the measure of a side)
Given x = 9:
⇒ area of square = 9² = 81 square units
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Area of a circle = [tex]\pi[/tex]r² (where r is the radius of the circle)
Given diameter = 3
⇒ radius = 3 ÷ 2 = 1.5
⇒ area of circle = [tex]\pi[/tex] × 1.5²
= 2.25[tex]\pi[/tex]
= 7.068583471... square units
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Area of portion between edge of square and edge of circle
= area of square - area of circle
= 81 - 2.25[tex]\pi[/tex] = 73.93141653... square units
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Probability of hitting the circle = 2.25[tex]\pi[/tex] / 81
= 0.0872664626
⇒ Closer to zero
Probability of hitting the area outside the circle = 73.93141653... / 81
= 0.9127335374...
⇒ Closer to 1
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
**I don't know which part of the target is the white portion, so I have given answers for both areas**
