Answer:

The likelihood that a point chosen inside the square will also be inside the circle: 78.54%

Explanation:

  • Let x is the side of the suqare

=> the area of the square is:
x^(2)

  • Let d is the diameter of the circle

=> the area of the circle :
(1)/(4) d^(2)π

However, d=x because of the square property

<=> the area of the circle :
(1)/(4) x^(2)π

The likelihood that a point chosen inside the square will also be inside the circle:

the area of the circle / the area of the square

=
(1)/(4) x^(2)π /
x^(2)

=
(1)/(4) π *100%

= 0.7854 * 100%

= 78.54%
