Question 25

For each real number $a$ with $0 \le a \le 1,$ let numbers $x$ and $y$ be chosen independently at random from the intervals $[0, a]$ and $[0, 1],$ respectively, and let $P(a)$ be the probability that $$
\sin^2(\pi x) + \sin^2(\pi y) \gt 1.
$$ What is the maximum value of $P(a)?$
  1. $\dfrac{7}{12}$
  2. $2 - \sqrt{2}$
  3. $\dfrac{1 + \sqrt{2}}{4}$
  4. $\dfrac{\sqrt{5} - 1}{2}$
  5. $\dfrac58$
