The probability will be given by the probability of hitting the area of the rectangle over the area of the dart board.
Step 1: calculate the area of the dart board by using its radius.
= pie x radius squared = 3.142R^2
Step 2: area of the rectangle
= length of the rectangle times width of the rectangle = L x W
probability = Area of rectangle = L x W
Area of Dart board 3.142R^2
