Assume the landing point is uniformly distributed over the whole board.
A dartboard has three concentric circles A, B and C with radii 3 cm, \(x\) cm and \(x+3\) cm.
- Write the area of circle B.[1]
- The probability of landing inside B but outside A is \(\frac{1}{3}\). Find \(x\).[2]
- Hence find the ratio of the three radii.[1]
