Question

A computer randomly puts a point inside the rectangle. What is the probability

that the point does not land in triangle T?

Answer 1

50%

Explanation:

In this case we have to know the relationship between the rectangle and the triangle. The way to find out is through the areas, we know that:

The area of the rectangle = b * h

The area of the triangle = b * h / 2

If we divide, we would have:

(b * h / 2) / b * h = 1/2 = 0.5

That is, if the base and the height were equal, the probability would be 50%, if they are different, we would have to replace the values and thus find the probability.
