AMC8 1996 年第 25 题
概率★★★★☆
A point is chosen at random from within a circular region. What is the probability that the point is closer to the center of the region than it is to the boundary of the region?

- A.
- B.
- C.
- D.
- E.
正确答案 · Correct Answer
A
解析 · Solution
解法1
常规解法 · 定边界圆
设大圆半径 2。「到圆心更近」即点到圆心距离 满足 r<2-r,得 r<1。合格区域是半径 1 的同心圆,概率 。
巧解 · 半径减半→面积四分之一
到圆心比到边界近,等价于落在半径为大圆一半的同心圆内。面积按半径平方缩放,比值 。
Solution 1
Elementary · fix the boundary circle
Let the region be a circle of radius 2. A point is closer to the center than to the boundary when its distance to the center satisfies r<2-r, i.e. r<1. The favorable region is the concentric circle of radius 1, so the probability is .
Slick · halve the radius, quarter the area
Closer to the center than the boundary means inside the concentric circle of half the radius. Area scales as radius squared, so the probability is .
