Question
Refer to the circle at the right.
a. Find the area of the shaded region to the nearest hundredth if r 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, and 8 inches.
b. What is the relationship between the area of the shaded region and the area of the large circle?
c. Suppose this figure represents a dartboard. What is the probability that a randomly-thrown dart will land in the yellow region?
Solution
The first step in solving 11-6 problem number trying to solve the problem we have to refer to the textbook question: Refer to the circle at the right.a. Find the area of the shaded region to the nearest hundredth if r 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, and 8 inches.b. What is the relationship between the area of the shaded region and the area of the large circle?c. Suppose this figure represents a dartboard. What is the probability that a randomly-thrown dart will land in the yellow region?
From the textbook chapter Circles - Area of a Circle you will find a few key concepts needed to solve this.
