the triangle is shaded

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I figured.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

The area of the whole rectangle is 96. The area or the triangle is 20.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okay so to find the prob of landing in a shaded area you take 20 divide it by 96 to get 5 over 24

OpenStudy (anonymous):

and that's the answer! :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

can you please help me with one more

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yeah, 5/24 was the answer. I just had to leave, so I couldn't tell you.
