Question

What is the probability that the measurement of the segment is greater than 3 !!!

Answer 1

Probability =
`(3)/(5)`

Explanation:

Length of segment AD = 12 units

Since, AC = CD

Therefore, AC = CD =
`(12)/(2)` = 6 units

Since, AB = BC

Therefore, AB = BC =
`(1)/(2)AC` = 3 units

Number of total segments = 5

Number of segments having measure greater than three = 3

(AC = CD = 6 units and AD = 12 units)

Probability that the measure of a segment is greater than 3

=
`\frac{\text{Number of segments measuring greater than 3}}{\text{Total number of segments}}`

=
`(3)/(5)`
