11. A point (x, y) is to be selected from the square S containing all points (x, y) such that 0 ≤ x ≤ 1 and 0 ≤ y ≤ 1. Suppose that the probability that the selected point will belong to each specified subset of S is equal to the area of that subset. Find the probability of each of the following subsets: (a) the subset of points such that (x − ½)² + (y − ½)² ≥; (b) the subset of points such that
