|\Omega|=(\text{the area of the triangle})=\dfrac{a^2\sqrt3}{4}=\dfrac{3^2\sqrt3}{4}=\dfrac{9\sqrt3}{4}\\|A|=(\text{the area of the sector})=\dfrac{\alpha\pi r^2}{360}=\dfrac{60\pi \cdot 1^2}{360}=\dfrac{\pi}{6}\\\\\\P(A)=\dfrac{\dfrac{\pi}{6}}{\dfrac{9\sqrt3}{4}}\\\\P(A)=\dfrac{\pi}{6}\cdot\dfrac{4}{9\sqrt3}\\\\P(A)=\dfrac{2\pi}{27\sqrt3}\\\\P(A)=\dfrac{2\pi\sqrt3}{27\cdot3}\\\\P(A)=\dfrac{2\pi\sqrt3}{81}\approx13.4\%

Answer:

13.44%

Step-by-step explanation:

For DG to have length of 1 or less, point G must be contained in a sector of a circle with center at point D, radius of 1, and a central angle of 60°.

The area of that sector is

A_s = \dfrac{n}{360^\circ}\pi r^2

A_s = \dfrac{60^\circ}{360^\circ} \times 3.14159 \times 1^2

A_s = 0.5254

The area of the triangle is

A_t = \dfrac{1}{2}ef \sin D

A_t = \dfrac{1}{2}\times 3 \times 3 \sin 60^\circ

A_t = 3.8971

The probability is the area of the sector divided by the area of the triangle.

p = \dfrac{A_s}{A_t} = \dfrac{0.5254}{3.8971} = 0.1344
