Question

A circle with radius 3.8 centimeters is contained inside a rectangle that is 9 centimeters by 18 centimeters. If a point is chosen at random what is the probability, to the nearest hundredth, that the point lies outside the circle but inside the rectangle? Round to the nearest hundredth.

Answer 1

0.28

Explanation:

The area of the circle is 3.8^2 * pi = 45.3416

The area of the rectangle is 9 * 18 = 162

45.3416 / 162 = 0.28
