To find the probability of the angle to be straight when one of the five

Answer to Problem 4PSA
Explanation of Solution
Given information: The angles can be classified as follows:
Formula used:
Probability means possibility.
The probability formula is defined as the possibility of an event to happen is equal to the ratio of the number of favourable outcomes and the total number of outcomes.
Probability of event to happen is
Calculation:
A straight angle is an angle that is exactly 180 degrees.As you can see, a straight angle forms a straight line.
In our example, there is no favorable outcome.
There are five total number of outcomes, i.e.
Therefore, the probability will be

- Find the area of a square whose diagonal is 10arrow_forwardDecomposition geometry: Mary is making a decorative yard space with dimensions as shaded in green (ΔOAB).Mary would like to cover the yard space with artificial turf (plastic grass-like rug). Mary reasoned that she could draw a rectangle around the figure so that the point O was at a vertex of the rectangle and that points A and B were on sides of the rectangle. Then she reasoned that the three smaller triangles resulting could be subtracted from the area of the rectangle. Mary determined that she would need 28 square meters of artificial turf to cover the green shaded yard space pictured exactly.arrow_forward7. 11 m 12.7 m 14 m S V=B₁+ B2(h) 9.5 m 16 m h+s 2 na 62-19 = 37 +, M h² = Bu-29arrow_forward
