Question 67888
A circular pool of radius 12ft is enclosed within a rectangular yard measuring 50ft by 100ft. If a ball from an adjacent golf course lands at a random point within the yard, what is the probability that the ball lands in the pool?
------------------------
Probability = [area of pool]/[area of rectangle-area of pool]
=[pi*12^2]/[50*100]
=[144pi]/[5000]
=0.09
----------
