Question

Identify the probability to the nearest hundredth that a point chosen randomly inside the rectangle is in the square. Only answer if you can show you work, please!!

Answer 1

Answer:

$0.07$

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The probability that a point chosen randomly inside the rectangle is in the square is equal to divide the area of the square by the area of rectangle

Let

x-----> the area of square

y----> the area of rectangle

P -----> the probability

$P=\frac{x}{y}$

Find the area of square (x)

$A=5^{2}=25\ in^{2}$

Find the area of rectangle (y)

$A=25*15=375\ in^{2}$

Find the probability P

$P=\frac{25}{375}=0.07$
