They have the same slope, but g(x) intercepts the y axis higher.
3/8 + 1/16= 7/16
so it's c. 7/16
To find the probability of landing on a triangle, you will want find the combined areas of the triangles and the total area of the square target.
Divide the area of the combined areas and the total area to find the probability of landing on a triangle.
A = 1/2bh
1/2 x 8 x 8
A = 32 square inches
32 x 4
128 square inches (areas of triangles)
A = bh
26 x 26
A = 676 square inches
128/676 = 0.189
There is an approximate probability of 0.19 of hitting a triangle.
