8-136.
In one of the games at the County Fair, people pay to shoot a paint pistol at the target shown at right. The center has a radius of one inch. Each concentric circle has a radius one inch larger than the preceding circle. Assuming the paint pellet hits the target randomly, what is the probability it hits:
The
point ring? What is the area of the
point ring?
What is the area of the whole target?The
point ring? Calculate the area of the circle around the
point ring.
Then subtract the area of thepoint ring.
