what is the probability that a random point on (overline{ab}) will be on (overline{cd})?
what is the probability that a random point on (overline{ab}) will be on (overline{cd})?
Answer
Explanation:
Step1: Calculate the length of (AB)
The length of (AB) is (39 - 14=25)
Step2: Calculate the length of (CD)
The length of (CD) is (32 - 17 = 15)
Step3: Calculate the probability
The probability (P) that a random point on (\overline{AB}) is on (\overline{CD}) is given by the formula (P=\frac{\text{length of }CD}{\text{length of }AB}). Substitute the values: (P=\frac{15}{25}=\frac{3}{5}=0.60)
Answer:
(0.60)
