Answer:
0.0977
Explanation:
From the question,
A = πR²...................... Equation 1
Where A = Area of the circular flower garden, R = Radius of the circular flower garden.
Also,
A' = πr²..................... Equation 2
Where A' = Area of the circular pool, r = radius of the circular pool.
If a coin is tossed at random into the garden, the probability that the coin will land in the pool is
Pr = Area of the pool(A')/Area of the garden(A)
Pr = A'/A....................... Equation 3
Substituting equation 1 and 2 into equation 3
Pr = πr²/πR².
Pr = r²/R².................... Equatio 4
Given: R = 16/2 = 8 feet, r = 5/2 = 2.5 feet.
Substitute these values into equation 4
Pr = 2.5²/8²
Pr = 6.25/64
Pr = 0.0977
