Question

Identify the probability to the nearest hundredth that a point chosen randomly inside the rectangle is in the triangle. HELP PLEASE!!

Answer 1

Answer:

$0.02$

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

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

Let

x-----> the area of triangle

y----> the area of rectangle

P -----> the probability

$P=x/y$

Find the area of triangle (x)

$A=(1/2)(5)(2)=5\ in^{2}$

Find the area of rectangle (y)

$A=18*12=216\ in^{2}$

Find the probability P

$P=5/216=0.02$
