Question 981484: if a point is randomly selected inside a 1'x1' square, what is the probability that it will be less than 6" from the center of the square? express your answer in terms of pi Answer by macston(5194) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! The area of the square is (12" x 12") 144in^2.
The points within 6" of the center are in the area of a cirle with radius 6": =
.
Probability (P)a point in the square will be in the circle:
P=area of circle/area of square=
.
The probability the point will be within 6" of center is .
