Answer to Problem 5PSA

  To Probability is 13.

Explanation of Solution

Given information: The distance between P and R is 6 units.

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

  P(E)= Number of favourable outcomes/Total Number of outcomes

Calculation:

  Distance between P and R = |4 -10| = 6 units.

A point is in within 2 units of R if it lies in between 8 to 10.

  Geometry For Enjoyment And Challenge, Chapter 1.9, Problem 5PSA

In our example, favorable outcome = |8-10| = 2 units .

The total number of outcomes = |4 10| = 6 units .

Therefore, the probability will be

  P(Angle is right angle) = 26 = 33.33%.
