A target with a diameter of 70 cm has 4 scoring zones formed by concentric circles. The diameter of the center circle is 10 cm. The width of each ring is 10 cm. A dart hits the target at a random point. Find the probability that it will hit a point in the blue region.

Answer:

[tex]32.65\%[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

see the attached figure to better understand the problem

we know that

The probability that it will hit a point in the blue region  is equal to divide the area of the blue ring by the total area of the target

step 1

Find the area of the blue ring

The radius of the blue ring is [tex](5+10+10)=25\ cm[/tex]

The radius of the red ring is [tex](5+10)=15\ cm[/tex]

The area of the blue ring is given by the formula

[tex]A=\pi(25^2-15^2)[/tex]

[tex]A=400\pi\ cm^2[/tex]

step 2

Find the total area of the target

The radius of the target  is

[tex]70/2=35\ cm[/tex]  ---> the radius is half the diameter

[tex]A=\pi (35^{2}]\\A=1,225\pi\ cm^{2}[/tex]

step 3

Find the probability

[tex]\frac{400\pi}{1,225\pi}= 0.3265[/tex]

Convert to percentage

Multiply by 100

[tex]0.3265(100)=32.65\%[/tex]
