Question

The figure below shows a shaded rectangular region inside a large rectangle:

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

First we need to find the areas of both rectangles.

And area of larger rectangle = 10*5=50 square units

Area of smaller rectangle = 7*3 = 21 square units

Area between the two rectangles, = 50-21=29 square units

And since, we have to find the probability that a point is chosen is not in the shaded rectangle that is the smaller rectangle, so it means we have to find the probability of the point is chosen in the area between the two rectangles . Therefore,

the answer is 16%

Answer 2

First we need to find the areas of both rectangles.
And area of larger rectangle = 10*5=50 square units
Area of smaller rectangle = 7*3 = 21 square units
Area between the two rectangles, = 50-21=29 square units
And since, we have to find the probability that a point is choosen is not in the shaded rectangle that is the smaller rectangle, so it means we have to find the probability of the point is choosen in the area between the two rectangles . Therefore,
Required probability =

Therefore correct option is the second option .
