16. A soldier is parachute training. He jumps out of plane high enough that the pilot determines the soldier will land somewhere in an 240 foot radius land zone. The pilot forgot to mention to the soldier that the parachute has very little maneuverability (no steering) and there are 30 trees in the landing zone. Each tree from the air practically outlines a circle with a radius of 8 feet. What is the geometric probability that the soldier will land Area of Circle =ar? 240 ft a tree?
