Question

what is the probability that a random point on ab will be on cd? p = enter as a decimal rounded to the nearest hundredth

Explanation:

Step1: Calculate the length of \( \overline{AB} \)

The length of \( \overline{AB} \) is \( 68 - 48=20 \).

Step2: Calculate the length of \( \overline{CD} \)

The length of \( \overline{CD} \) is \( 64 - 58 = 6 \).

Step3: Calculate the probability

The probability \( P \) that a random point on \( \overline{AB} \) is on \( \overline{CD} \) is \( \frac{\text{length of } \overline{CD}}{\text{length of } \overline{AB}}=\frac{6}{20}=0.30 \).

Answer:

\( 0.30 \)
