Answer 1

Answer: 84.5%

==========================================================

Work Shown:

A = area of the smaller square

A = (5.98)^2

A = 35.7604 square cm which is exact

B = area of the larger square

B = (15.2)^2

B = 231.04 square cm which is exact

C = the chances of landing in the smaller square

C = A/B

C = 35.7604/231.04

C = 0.15478012465373 which is approximate

C = 0.154780

D = the chances of landing in the blue region

D = 1 - C

D = 1 - 0.154780

D = 0.84522

D = 84.522%

D = 84.5%
