Answer:

The probability that she would succeed is 1/2

Explanation:

Firstly. we have to calculate the area of the board

That would be the area of the rectangle

This is the product of the base and the height which is 50 cm * 40 cm = 2,000 cm^2

The area of the triangle is the area of the base and the height divided by 2

we have this as;

1/2 * 50 * 40 = 1,000 cm^2

The probability would be the area of the triangle divided by the area of the board

This is because she is aiming at the triangle while having the whole board to work against

This is 1,000 cm^2/2000 cm^2 = 1/2
