On the target, the radius of the bull's-eye is 5 cm and each band is 5 cm wide.

a. Find the total shaded area to the nearest square centimeter.

b. Find the area of the unshaded bands to the nearest square centimeter.

c. What is the probability that if you hit the target, you will get a bull's-eye?

a. AShaded = Abiggest - A2nd biggest + A3rd biggest - A4th biggest + Asmallest

= 625π - 400π + 225π - 100π + 25π

= 375π ≈ 1178 cm2

b. Aunshaded = A2nd biggest - A3rd biggest + A4th biggest - Asmallest

= 400π - 225π +100π - 25π

=250π ≈ 785 cm2

In the square grid, each square is 2 cm wide. Find the area of the shaded region.

There are 4 whole squares, each with an area of 4 cm2.

There are 4 quarter circles, each with an area of 4π cm2.

There are 4 areas that are the area of a square - the area of a
quarter circle, so each has area (4 - 4π) cm2.

Given this, the total area is

4 (4 + 4π + (4 - 4π)) = 4(8) = 32 cm2
