Question

A computer randomly puts a point inside the rectangle. What is the

probability that the point does not land in triangle T?

Answer 1

3/8

Explanation:

Answer 2

Option B. 5/6

Explanation:

we know that

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\ unit^2`

Find out the area of triangle T

`A=(1)/(2)(2)(4)=4\ unit^2`

The probability is equal to

`P=(24-4)/(24)=(20)/(24)=(5)/(6)`
