Doing geometry extra credit work online, this block of problems didn't have a lesson video (so its probably really obvious and easy).
I'm still drawing a blank though, could someone explain what im meant to do?

you use the area of the square a*a as the x percent and the circle area pi*r^2 as the 100%
so you can say
a^2/(pi r^2) = x/100
proceed to put the 100 on the left side and bam x is your percentage.
The percentage of the square area will also be the chance to hit this spot.

Oh yea forgot to mention, to actually calculate it you need to use r=0.5/√(a^2+a^2)
and choose a random a, it will always be the same result (chance)
you need to do this because this is the radius of the circle considering it equals half the diagonal of the square.

because i am bored:
100•[(a^2)/(pi•0.5•√(a^2+a^2))]=x
with a being one:
100•(1/(pi•0.5•√(2)))=x
now calculate it and round it down son

This is much simpler if you consider a quarter of the circle.
The area of a quarter of the circle is 0.25(Pi*r^2)= 0.25Pi(r^2)
The quarter of the square forms a triangle, and the area of a triangle is 0.5bh. b=h=r, so the area of that triangle is 0.5(rr)=0.5(r^2)
The ratio of the two is 0.5(r^2)/0.25Pi(r^2)
=0.5/0.25Pi
=2/Pi
