Question

Students in a math class will be randomly assigned a polygon for

a class project. The only types of polygons being assigned are
quadrilaterals. pentagons, hexagons, octagons nonagons, and
decagons. If there is an equal type of polygons, what is the

Express your answer as a fraction

Answer 1

There are 6 different shapes

You want the outcome to be a Nonagon

You put the outcome as a ratio 1/6

1/6=0.1666667

0.1666667*100=16.6667%

Chance of pulling out a nonagon
