EXTENDED RESPONSE Scientists lost contact with the space probe Beagle 2 when it was landing on Mars in 2003. They have been unable to locate it since. Early in the search, some scientists thought that it was possible, though unlikely, that Beagle had landed in a circular crater inside the planned landing region. The diameter of the crater is 1 km. a. In the scale drawing, each square has side length 2 kilometers. Estimate the area of the planned landing region. Explain your steps. b. Estimate the probability of Beagle 2 landing in the crater if it was equally likely to land anywhere in the planned landing region.
