Question

Identify the probability to the nearest hundredth that a point chosen randomly inside the rectangle is in the triangle. HELP PLEASE!!

Answer 1

`0.02`

Explanation:

we know that

The probability that a point chosen randomly inside the rectangle is in the triangle is equal to divide the area of the triangle by the area of rectangle

Let

x-----> the area of triangle

y----> the area of rectangle

P -----> the probability

`P=x/y`

Find the area of triangle (x)

`A=(1/2)(5)(2)=5\ in^(2)`

Find the area of rectangle (y)

`A=18*12=216\ in^(2)`

Find the probability P

`P=5/216=0.02`
