A para-glider wants to land in a field that is square shaped 400 feet on each side. However, there are four briar patches planted at each corner of the field. Each briar patch takes up a region roughly shaped like a quarter circle 40 feet in diameter. If the glider loses control and hits the field randomly, what is the probability that he misses the briar patches?

The objective of this question is to find the probability that the para-glider misses the briar…
