John wants to nail a thumbtack on his circular board, pictured below. If the thumbtack is equally likely to be placed anywhere on the board, what is the probability that the thumbtack will be placed on the inner circle? Use 3.14 for , and round your answer to the nearest whole percent. A. 51% B. 55% C. 57% D. 60%

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Radius of inner circle = 5ft

Radius of outer circle = 7ft

Required

Determine the probability that the thumbtack will be placed on the inner circle

We start by calculating the area of both circles;

Inner Circle

Outer Circle

At this point, the probability can be calculated;

The probability = Area of Inner Circle / Area of Outer Circle

Convert to percentage

Approximate

points are handed out whenever you post answers.

brainliest answers are handed out by the person asking the question, so whether your answer is picked depends entirely on whether the asker bothers to pick

if you're asking about your rank, it depends on having a certain number of points and a certain number of brainliest answers. for example, at the time of this writing, i have 44338 points out of 15000 needed for the next (nearly triple the requirement! ) but i only have 24 out of 50 required brainliest answers. this number decays, meaning after a certain amount of time (i think about a month), the total number of brainliest answers you've earned doesn't count toward this total. (i've been stuck at the same rank for a long

the lesson to learn here is that you shouldn't worry about points or rank. chances are, no matter how good an answer you may provide, your efforts will go mostly unnoticed unless you focus on the newest/most active questions that get posted.
