This document explores various probability problems related to geometric shapes such as circles, squares, and regions defined on coordinate planes. It presents scenarios involving darts hitting boards, calculates the probability of landing in specific areas, and assesses the likelihood of random accidents occurring between two points on a highway. Through examples, such as determining the probability associated with a spinner landing in a designated region, this text provides a foundation for understanding and solving probability problems effectively.
