A= a+b over 2 times height
18 + 8 = 26
26 divide by 2 = 13
13 x 6 = 78
area is 78
3.48 x 10^9
I hope this is right.
Probability =
(number of possible ways to succeed)
divided by
(total number of possible outcomes) .
Number of ways to succeed = 2 (pick the 'A' or the 'L')
Total number of possible outcomes = 5 (the cards on the table) .
Probability of success = 2/5 = 40% .
