The question is an illustration of equation of circles.
- The equation of the dartboard circle is: [tex]\mathbf{(x - 10)^2 + (y - \frac{17}3)^2 = \frac 9{16}}[/tex]
- Sasha's dart lands on the dartboard because
From the question, we understand that:
[tex]\mathbf{h = 5\ ft\ 8\ in }[/tex] ---- the height at which the dartboard was hung
[tex]\mathbf{d = 18\i n }[/tex] ---- the diameter of the dartboard
[tex]\mathbf{B = 10ft}[/tex] --- the bull's eye
[tex]\mathbf{D = (10.25ft, 5ft)}[/tex] --- Sasha's dart
Equation of the circle
First, we convert all units to feet
This is done by dividing inches units by 12
[tex]\mathbf{h = 5\ ft\ 8\ in }[/tex]
[tex]\mathbf{h = 5\ ft\ + \frac{8}{12}\ ft }[/tex]
[tex]\mathbf{h = 5\ ft\ + \frac{2}{3}\ ft }[/tex]
Take LCM
[tex]\mathbf{h = \frac{15 + 2}{3}\ ft }[/tex]
[tex]\mathbf{h = \frac{17}{3}\ ft }[/tex]
[tex]\mathbf{d = 18\i n }[/tex]
[tex]\mathbf{d = \frac{18}{12}ft}[/tex]
[tex]\mathbf{d = \frac{3}{2}ft}[/tex]
Divide by 2 to calculate radius
[tex]\mathbf{r = \frac{3}{2*2}ft}[/tex]
[tex]\mathbf{r = \frac{3}{4}ft}[/tex]
The equation of the circle is represented as:
[tex]\mathbf{(x - a)^2 + (y - b)^2 = r^2}[/tex]
In this case:
[tex]\mathbf{a = B = 10ft}[/tex] -- the distance between the bull's eye and the wall
[tex]\mathbf{b = h = \frac{17}{3}\ ft }[/tex] ---- the height at which the dartboard was hung
So, we have:
[tex]\mathbf{(x - a)^2 + (y - b)^2 = r^2}[/tex]
[tex]\mathbf{(x - 10)^2 + (y - \frac{17}3)^2 = (\frac 34)^2}[/tex]
Evaluate the exponents
[tex]\mathbf{(x - 10)^2 + (y - \frac{17}3)^2 = \frac 9{16}}[/tex]
Hence, the equation of the circle is: [tex]\mathbf{(x - 10)^2 + (y - \frac{17}3)^2 = \frac 9{16}}[/tex]
Does Sasha’s dart land on the dartboard?
Yes her dart lands on the dartboard because
[tex]\mathbf{D = (10.25ft, 5ft)}[/tex] is within the circumference of the dartboard
