Answer:

0.0259 is closer to 0 than 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1 : Calculate area of square

  • Area = (11)²
  • Area = 11 x 11
  • Area = 121

Step 2 : Calculate area of circle

  • Area = 3.14 x 1 x 1
  • Area = 3.14

Step 3 : Probability of hitting circle

  • P = Area of circle / Area of square
  • P = 3.14 / 121
  • 0.0259

0.0259 is closer to 0 than 1
