Answer 1

78.5%

Explanation:

the percent of time the point will land in the square can be determined by dividing the area of the square by the area of the circle

A(circle) = 3.14(1)²

A(circle) = 3.14

A(square) = side squared

if radius of square is 1 inch then each side is 2 inches

A(square) = 2²

A(square) = 4 inches

3.14/4 = 78.5%
