I think you should specify what you mean by the area. For all I know, a dartboard is a disc.

Area as in how many square feet there are in a standard dartboard.
 
  • #4
Do you want to know the scoring area or the overall board?
 
  • #5
How about both?

A disc has area [itex]\pi r^2[/itex], where r is the radius. I'm sure you can look up the radius of a standard-sized dartboard somewhere.
 

What is the standard size of a dartboard?

The standard size of a dartboard is 18 inches in diameter and 1.5 inches thick.

What is the scoring system for a standard-sized dartboard?

A standard-sized dartboard has 20 numbered sections, each with a different point value ranging from 1 to 20. The outermost ring is worth double the point value, and the innermost ring is worth triple the point value. The bullseye in the center is worth either 50 or 25 points, depending on the game being played.

What are the dimensions of each section on a standard-sized dartboard?

The dimensions of each section on a standard-sized dartboard vary, but the inner bullseye has a diameter of 12.7 mm, the outer bullseye has a diameter of 31.8 mm, and each numbered section has a width of 12.7 mm.

What is the standard height to mount a dartboard?

The standard height to mount a dartboard is 5 feet 8 inches from the center of the bullseye to the ground. This allows for proper throwing distance and ensures the board is at a comfortable height for most players.

What materials are used to make a standard-sized dartboard?

A standard-sized dartboard is typically made of sisal fibers compressed together and held in place with a metal ring. The surface is then coated with a thin layer of paint and the numbers and sections are printed on top. The bullseye is usually made of a different material, such as cork or rubber, to create a different texture for players to aim at.
