Answer:

  1. 0.25
  2. 0.85

Explanation:

P (Triangle or Square) :

  • Area of Triangle + Area of Square / Area of Rectangle
  • 1/2 x 3 x 4 (height is found by Pythagorean Theorem) + (3)² / 10 x 6
  • 6 + 9 / 60
  • 15/60
  • 0.25

P (Not the square) :

  • Area of rectangle - Area of square / Area of rectangle
  • 60 - 9 / 60
  • 51/60
  • 17/20
  • 0.85
