In the game of corn-toss, players throw corn-filled bags at a hole in a wooden platform. If a bag that hits the platform can hit any location with an equal likelihood find the probability that a tossed bag lands in the hole.
\n" ); document.write( "the hole is 6in in diameter.
\n" ); document.write( "the platform is 4ft by 2ft
\n" ); document.write( "--------------------------------------
\n" ); document.write( "The hole has an area of (pi)r^2 = (pi)(1/4)^2 = 0.19635 sq. ft.
\n" ); document.write( "----------
\n" ); document.write( "The board has an area of 4*2 = 8 sq. ft.
\n" ); document.write( "---------------
\n" ); document.write( "P(bag hits a hole) = 0.19635/8 = 0.02564 or 2.564%
