A narrow beam of alpha particles with kinetic energy 1.0 MeV falls normally on a platinum foil

Question:

A narrow beam of alpha particles with kinetic energy 1.0 MeV falls normally on a platinum foil 1.0μm thick. The scattered particles are observed at an angle of (10° to the incident beam direction by means of a counter with a circular inlet area 1.0 cm2 located at the distance 10 cm from the scattering section of the foil. What fraction of scattered alpha particles reaches the counter inlet?
