Pre College Mathematics
Given that A pair of standard 6-sided fair dice are rolled once. The sum of the numbers rolled determines the diameter of a circle. The numerical value of the area of the circle is less than the numerical value of the circle's circumference. Let the radius of the circle is \(r\). Then the area of the circle be \(\pi(r)^2\) and circumference be \(2\pi r\)

Now according to the given condition we say that \(\pi(r)^2 <2\pi{r}\)\(\Rightarrow r<2\)
As The sum of the numbers rolled determines the diameter of a circle, therefore $r<2$ then the dice must show \((1,1)\),\((1,2)\),\((2,1)\)
can you finish the problem........
Therefore there $3$ choices out of a total possible of $6 \times 6 =36$, so the probability is \(\frac{3}{36}=\frac{1}{12}\)
