HELP ASAP PLEASE IM TIMED

Suppose a dart is thrown at the dartboard shown below, and it is equally likely that the dart will land anywhere on the board. Find the probability that it lands on the shaded region. Round to the nearest percent, if necessary.

Answer 1

K and L because the area of a whole triangle is 350

Answer 2

Probability that it lands in the shaded region = 54/72 = 0.75 = 75%

Explanation:

Area of a triangle = 1/2 x base x height

Area of a parallelogram = base x height

Area of triangle JKL = 1/2 x 12 x 12 = 72 cm²

Area of parallelogram = 6 x 3 = 18 cm²

Therefore, area of shaded part = 72 - 18 = 54 cm²

Probability that it lands in the shaded region = 54/72 = 0.75 = 75%
