What is the probability that a point chosen inside the large rectangle is not in the shaded region? 18% 36% 42% 64%

OpenStudy (anonymous):

lel hi!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (anonymous):

It worked!!!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@sammixboo

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Okay

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@sammixboo

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I'll summon u l8tr @Dodgegirl :) when I get 2 a diff question

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Okay just lemme know c:

sammixboo (sammixboo):

Ugh i totally forgot how to do this give me a second to refresh my memory xD

OpenStudy (anonymous):

:) I will

DivineSolar (divinesolar):

Sorry i am no help here. As i solve equations, time lines ETC. I solve a bunch but i dont usually do geometry involved things.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@sammixboo can you please help me??

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@Directrix @freckles

OpenStudy (freckles):

you will need to find some areas here

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok

OpenStudy (freckles):

find the larger area and the smaller area

OpenStudy (anonymous):

for the smaller one, its 18 units

OpenStudy (anonymous):

and for the bigger one, its 50

OpenStudy (anonymous):

right?

OpenStudy (freckles):

so now you can find the area of the unshaded region

OpenStudy (anonymous):

10 on the long side, 10 on the other long side, and 10 on the short, 10 on the other short side lol i divided them into parts

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so 40

OpenStudy (freckles):

\[\frac{\text{ area of non-shaded region}}{\text{ area of largest rectangle there }}\] will be the probability of the point inside the largest rectangle there occurs in the shaded region

OpenStudy (freckles):

wait what ?

OpenStudy (freckles):

the area of the nonshaded region is just the difference in areas of the rectangles you found

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yeah

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ugh nvrmind about the last part lol

OpenStudy (freckles):

so the area of the non-shaded region is?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i think its 40?

OpenStudy (freckles):

you think that is the difference of 50 and 18?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh, nonono!!! lol sorry i misunderstood

OpenStudy (anonymous):

32

OpenStudy (freckles):

yes the area of the nonshaded region is 32 units squared

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Ok

OpenStudy (freckles):

so remember what you see is the the area of the nonshaded area/the larger rectangle area

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok

OpenStudy (freckles):

ok any questions

OpenStudy (anonymous):

nope

OpenStudy (anonymous):

wow is that it??

OpenStudy (freckles):

what did you get as the answer?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh yeah, one last question,

OpenStudy (anonymous):

how do i find that part lol??

OpenStudy (freckles):

so i guess that means you didn't understand anything I said above :p

OpenStudy (freckles):

i will copy and paste what I said one more time \[\frac{\text{ area of non-shaded region}}{\text{ area of largest rectangle there }}\] will be the probability of the point inside the largest rectangle there occurs in the shaded region -- can i ask why this doesn't make sense?

OpenStudy (freckles):

also that is suppose to say nonshaded region*

OpenStudy (anonymous):

how do I do that???? the probability part is hardest :(

OpenStudy (freckles):

you found the area of the non-shaded region already and you found the area of the large rectangle...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok, sooo

OpenStudy (anonymous):

What is the probability that a point chosen inside the large rectangle is not in the shaded region? 18% 36% 42% 64%

OpenStudy (freckles):

you see where it says area of non-shaded region? that is on top of the fraction there...and remember you got 32 for the top and you also found the bottom, that is the area of the larger rectangle to be 50

OpenStudy (freckles):

like I know you can replace a group of words with a number you found those group of words to mean

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yeah of course

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ohohoh

OpenStudy (anonymous):

32/50

OpenStudy (anonymous):

now i have to divide right??

OpenStudy (freckles):

\[\frac{\text{ area of non-shaded region}}{\text{ area of largest rectangle there }} \] will be the probability of the point inside the largest rectangle there occurs in the non-shaded region replace the group of words "area of nonshadead region" with what you found that area to be which is 32 area of nonshaded region=32 you found the area of largest rectangle to be 50 so replace that group of words with 50 so you have 32/50 the division I leave to you

OpenStudy (anonymous):

.64 which = to 64% right??

OpenStudy (freckles):

ok great

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes!!!!!!!!!!! thx:)

OpenStudy (freckles):

directrix and I commented on your previous question by the way

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh ok ill check it out
