2024 AMC 12B Problem 9
A dartboard is the region B in the coordinate plane consisting of points (x,y) such that |x| + |y| \le 8 . A target T is the region where (x^2 + y^2 - 25)^2 \le 49. A dart is thrown and lands at a random point in B. The probability that the dart lands in T can be expressed as \frac{m}{n} \cdot \pi, where m and n are relatively prime positive integers. What is m + n?
