Problem 3
« on: April 01, 2007, 12:09:33 am »
To the nearest 100th of a square inch, what is the area inside the three point zone but outside the paint?


EDIT: To clarify, what is the area inside the 3 point zone in college basketball?

Some sort of integral. Area measured from outside the paint - area measured from inside of paint. Maybe?

I'd bet that you're currently bloated like a water ballon on a hot summer's day.

That analogy doesn't even make sense.  Why would a water balloon be especially bloated on a hot summer's day? For your sake, I hope there wasn't too much logic testing on your LSAT.

Integration is unnecessary.  I don't think that the three point lines follow some complex function.  They look pretty geometrical on TV, anyway.

Seriously, Towelie, you should post all of these at once or only post the ones that are hard (not just involve looking up trivia on wikipedia). :P

No, that's the foul zone.  The 3 point line is the big HALF CIRCLE.

Okay.

Area of the 3 point zone (Area of a circle / 2) minus [area of the foul zone (length * width) plus area of shot line circle thingy (area of a circle / 2)]
