Answer:

13% chance

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of backyard = length * width

A = 30 ft * 20 ft

A = 600 [tex]ft^{2}[/tex]

Area of bathtub = π [tex]r^{2}[/tex]

A = π * [tex]5^{2}[/tex]

A = 78.54 [tex]ft^{2}[/tex]

Probability of arrow landing in tub can be found by dividing Area of the bathtub by the area of the backyard, and then multiplying by 100 for a percentage

Prob. = 78.54/600

Prob. = 0.13

Prob. = 0.13 * 100

Prob. = 13%
