| This works since the ratio of the Area of a circle divided by the Area of the square is pi*r^2 / (2r)^2 = pi/4. The ratio of the darts that land in the circle divided by the darts thrown on the square should be the same ratio, pi/4 (if we throw enough random darts!). So 4 times this proportion is pi! | This works since the ratio of the Area of a circle divided by the Area of the square is pi*r^2 / (2r)^2 = pi/4.
