Question

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

Explanation:

Step1: Calculate the length of \(AB\)

The length of \(AB\) is \(70 - 30=40\)

Step2: Calculate the length of \(CD\)

The length of \(CD\) is \(53 - 48 = 5\)

Step3: Calculate the probability

The probability \(P\) that a random point on \(AB\) is on \(CD\) is given by the formula \(P=\frac{\text{length of }CD}{\text{length of }AB}\). Substitute the values: \(P=\frac{5}{40}=\frac{1}{8}=0.125\approx0.13\)

Answer:

\(0.13\)
