Question 1 of 10 A computer randomly puts a point inside the rectangle What is the probability that the point lands in square S T2

Answer :

The probability that the point land in square S will be 5/6.

What is probability?

Probability is a branch of mathematics in which the chances of experiments occurring are calculated. It is by means of a probability, for example, that we can know from the chance of getting heads or tails in the launch of a coin to the chance of error in research.

The probability that the point does not land in triangle T is equal to subtract the area of triangle T from the area of rectangle and divided the result by the the area of rectangle

so, Find out the area of rectangle

A = (6)(4)

= 24 unit²

Find out the area of triangle T

A = 1/2(2)(4)

= 4 unit²

The probability is equal to

P = (24-4) / 24

= 20/24

= 5/6

Hence, the probability that the point land in square S will be 5/6.
