Question

Find the probability that a point is chosen randomly inside the rectangle is in each given shape...

Answer 1

By taking the quotients between the areas, we see that:

• a) P = 0.275
• b) P = 0.85

How to find the probabilities?

First we need to find the areas of the 3 shapes.

For the triangle, the area is:

T = 3*5/2 = 7.5

For the blue square, the area is:

S = 3*3 = 9

For the rectangle, the area is:

R = 10*6 = 60

Now, what is the probability that a random point lies on the triangle or in the square?

It is equal to the quotient between the areas of the two shapes and the total area of the rectangle, this is:

P= (7.5 + 9)/60 = 0.275

b) The area of the rectangle that is not the square is:

A = 60 - 9 = 51

Then the probability of not landing on the square is:

P' = 51/60 = 0.85
