Question

Garrett throws a dart at a circular dart board. The dart board has a radius of 16 inches, and the bull's eye in the center of the dart board has a radius of 6 inches
What is the probability that a dart thrown at random within the dartboard will hit the bull's eye? Round your answer to the nearest tenth, if necessary
A. 37.5%
B. 26.7%
C. 7.1%
D. 14.1%

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

Answer:

The probability that a dart thrown at random within the dartboard will hit the bull's eye is 14.1%

Step-by-step explanation:

$The probability is found by dividing the area of the bull's eye by the total area of the dart board:\[\large P(bull's\ eye)=\frac{\pi\ 6^{2}}{\pi\ 16^{2}}=\frac{36}{256}=0.1406\]Therefore your answer of 14.1% is close.$
