A target is made of a yellow square inside of a green square. What is the theoretical probability that a dart will hit the green square if the side length of the yellow square is 4, and the side length of the green square is 8?

A.
0.25

B.
0.5

C.
0.75

D.
0.8

Answer 1

The green square is the larger square, the total area for the target would be 8 x 8 = 64 square units.

The area of the smaller yellow square would be 4 x 4 = 16 square units.

The green area would be the difference between the total target area and the yellow area: 64 - 16 = 48 square units.

The probability of hitting the green area = 48 / 64 = 0.75

The answer is C.
