Suppose the spinner lands on <em>a</em>. There's a 1/3 chance that it'll land on <em>a</em> the second time.
Suppose the spinner lands on <em>b</em>. There's a 1/3 chance that it'll land on <em>b</em> the second time.
Suppose the spinner lands on <em>c</em>. There's a 1/3 chance that it'll land on <em>c</em> the second time.
We've covered all possibilities for the first spin, and they're all equal, so their average is 1/3.
The probability that it'll land on the same letter twice is 33.3%.

Step-by-step explanation:
Maybe this is roughly what you need
First, we should calculate the lengths of the three sides (see the figure below).
The distance between two coordinates (x₁, y₁) and (x₂, y₂) is given by the formula

Because the triangle is a right angle (indicated by the figure), we can determine the lengths of BC and AC easily.
The length of BC is the change in the x-coordinates, and AC is the change in the y-coordinates.
BC = 2 - (-2) = 4
AC = 4 - 1 = 3
To find AB, use the distance formula (the same as the Pythagorean theorem).
AB = √[(2-(2)) ²+ (4-1)² ] = √(4²+3²) = √25 = 5
The area of the triangle is (1/2)*BC*AC = (1/2)*4*3 = 6
