If the radius of the circle in the preceding figure is r, the area of the quarter circle
, and area of the square enclosing the circle is r2.
Imagine a thought experiment where you build this quarter circle and square on a
large canvas and you throw darts. If you throw sufficient darts, the ratio of darts that

the square.
The r code is provided in the electronic format. The results are:
The following figure illustrates examples of a few visualization capabilities in R:
