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?
