Calculate the AREA of the CIRCLE
Calculate the AREA of the BOARD
Geometric probability = Area of circle / Area of board
If the iameter of the circle is 6 inches, then the radius is 3 in
So...the area of the circle is pi*(3)^2 = 9 pi in^2
The area of the board is 48 *24 = 1152 in^2
So.....the probabililty that the circle is hit is:
9pi/1152 ≈ 0.0245 = 2.45 %
