The area of a circle is where r is the radius.
The area of the whole target is .
The area of the circle forming the outer edge of band a is 4/5 of the total area: . The outer radius of band a is .
The area of the circle forming the inner edge of band a is 3/5 of the total area: . The inner radius of band a is .
The width of band a is the difference between those two radii:
