The following problem is from both the 2024 AMC 10B #14 and 2024 AMC 12B #9, so both problems redirect to this page.

Problem

A dartboard is the region B in the coordinate plane consisting of points $(x, y)$ such that $|x| + |y| \le 8$. A target T is the region where $(x^2 + y^2 - 25)^2 \le 49$. A dart is thrown and lands at a random point in B. The probability that the dart lands in T can be expressed as $\frac{m}{n} \cdot \pi$, where $m$ and $n$ are relatively prime positive integers. What is $m + n$?

$\textbf{(A) }39 \qquad \textbf{(B) }71 \qquad \textbf{(C) }73 \qquad \textbf{(D) }75 \qquad \textbf{(E) }135 \qquad$

Solution 1

Inequalities of the form $|x|+|y| \le 8$ are well-known and correspond to a square in space with centre at origin and vertices at $(8, 0)$, $(-8, 0)$, $(0, 8)$, $(0, -8)$. The diagonal length of this square is clearly $16$, so it has an area of \[\frac{1}{2} \cdot 16 \cdot 16 = 128\] Now, \[(x^2 + y^2 - 25)^2 \le 49\] Converting to polar form, \[r^2 - 25 \le 7 \implies r \le \sqrt{32},\] and \[r^2 - 25 \ge -7\implies r\ge \sqrt{18}.\]

The intersection of these inequalities is the circular region $T$ for which every circle in $T$ has a radius between $\sqrt{18}$ and $\sqrt{32}$, inclusive. The area of such a region is thus $\pi(32-18)=14\pi.$ The requested probability is therefore $\frac{14\pi}{128} = \frac{7\pi}{64},$ yielding $(m,n)=(7,64).$ We have $m+n=7+64=\boxed{\textbf{(B)}\ 71}.$

Solution 2 (Calculus)

Expressing the Area of Region B

Region B consists of points where |x|+|y|8

In each quadrant, this can be expressed by the following functions:

First quadrant: y=8x Second quadrant: y=8+x Third quadrant: y=8x Fourth quadrant: y=8+x

In the first quadrant, x ranges from 0 to 8, and y ranges from 0 to 8x. Thus, the area in the first quadrant is: \[\text{Area of first quadrant} = \int_0^8 \int_0^{8 - x} \, dy \, dx\] \[= \int_0^8 [y]_{y=0}^{y=8-x} \, dx = \int_0^8 (8 - x) \, dx\] \[= \left[ 8x - \frac{x^2}{2} \right]_0^8 = 64 - 32 = 32\] The total area of region B is: \[\text{Area of } B = 4 \times 32 = 128\]

Expressing the Area of Region T Region T is defined by the inequality (x2+y225)249, which can be rewritten as: \[18 \le x^2 + y^2 \le 32\]

To find the area, we switch to polar coordinates with x=rcosθ and y=rsinθ, where x2+y2=r2. Here, r ranges from 18 to 32, and θ ranges from 0 to 2π.

The area of T can then be found by: \[\text{Area of } T = \int_0^{2\pi} \int_{\sqrt{18}}^{\sqrt{32}} r \, dr \, d\theta\] \[= \int_0^{2\pi} \left[ \frac{r^2}{2} \right]_{r=\sqrt{18}}^{r=\sqrt{32}} \, d\theta = \int_0^{2\pi} \left( \frac{32}{2} - \frac{18}{2} \right) \, d\theta\] \[= \int_0^{2\pi} 7 \, d\theta = 14\pi\]

The probability P that a dart lands in region T is the area of T divided by the area of B: \[P = \frac{\text{Area of } T}{\text{Area of } B} = \frac{14\pi}{128} = \frac{7\pi}{64}\]

So the probability is of the form mnπ, where m=7 and n=64, so m+n=7+64=71.

\[\boxed{\textbf{(B)}\ 71}\]
