Question

What is the probability that a point chosen at random in the triangle is also in the blue square?

Answer 1

`(1)/(3)`

Explanation:

Divide the area of the square by the area of the triangle.

`\frac{A_{\textrm{square}}}{A_{\textrm{triangle}}} = (3^2)/((9* 6)/ 2)`

And simplify.

`= (9)/(54 / 2)`

`= (9)/(27)`

`=(1)/(3)`
