Answer:
87.5%
Step-by-step explanation:
The area of the entire rectangle is 8 by 6,
8x6=48 so the area is 48 units^2.
The area of the triangle is A=1/2bh
A=1/2(2)(6)
A=1(6)
A=6 units^2
6/48=0.125
0.125=12.5%
You need to find the percent it will not land in the triangle, so subtract 12.5 from 100.
100-12.5=87.5
There is an 87.5% chance it will not land in the triangle
