Q2 of 18 Page 70

In each picture below, the explanation of the green part is given. Calculate in each, the probability of a dot put without looking to be within the green part.

A square with all vertices on a circle.


The figure is shown below:



Let the side of square be x


AC is the diameter of the circle as well as the diagonal of the square.


In Δ ABC


We know that, AB = BC (side of the square)


AB2 + BC2 = AC2 (Pythagoras theorem)


AB2 + AB2 = AC2


x2 + x2 = AC2


2x2 = AC2


√2 x = AC



Area of green region = Area of square = 4 × side


Area of green region = 4 × x


= 4x


Area of total region = Area of circle = πr2


Area of total region = π × (√2x)2 = 2πx2


Probability of getting dot inside green region
