Question

Identify the probability to the nearest hundredth that a point chosen randomly inside the rectangle is in the square. Only answer if you can show you work, please!!

Answer 1

`0.07`

Explanation:

we know that

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

Let

x-----> the area of square

y----> the area of rectangle

P -----> the probability

`P=(x)/(y)`

Find the area of square (x)

`A=5^(2)=25\ in^(2)`

Find the area of rectangle (y)

`A=25*15=375\ in^(2)`

Find the probability P

`P=(25)/(375)=0.07`
