A circle with radius 3 is contained in a square with side length 9 . What is the probability that a randomly chosen point in the interior of the square will also lie in the interior of the circle?
A. 1/9
B. 1/3
C. π/9
D. 9/π

Respuesta :

The probability that a randomly chosen point in the interior of the square will also lie in the interior of the circle is  π/9 .

Probability of an event is defined as the Number of favorable outcomes divided by total number of outcomes.

It is denoted by P(E).

Given that

radius of circle = 3

side of the square = 9

Let E be the event that a randomly chosen point in the interior of the square will also lie in the interior of the circle

then

[tex]P(E)=\frac{AreaOfCircle}{AreaOfSquare}[/tex]   ...(i)

Area of Circle = πr² = π(3)² = 9π

Area of Square = (side)²=(9)²=81

Substituting the values in equation (i) we get

[tex]P(E)=\frac{9\pi }{81}[/tex]

[tex]=\frac{\pi }{9}[/tex]

Therefore  , the probability that a randomly chosen point in the interior of the square will also lie in the interior of the circle is  π/9 .

The correct option is (C)  π/9
