<PRE><B>Question 79555</B>
Hartford is approximately at the center of Connecticut. If a meteor hit the earth within 200 mi of Hartford, find the probability that the meteor landed in Connecticut. 
--------
Draw the rectangle.
Put a dot (hartford) at the center of the rectagle.
Draw of circle of radius 200 around the dot.
Figure out the area of Conccecticul compared to the area
of the circle.
P(hit Connecticut)= [50*100]/[(pi)(200)^2]=0.0398
Cheers,
