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 \( CD \)

The length of \( CD \) is \( 44 - 34=10 \)

Step2: Calculate the length of \( AB \)

The length of \( AB \) is \( 61 - 11 = 50 \)

Step3: Calculate the probability

The probability \( P \) that a random point on \( \overline{AB} \) is on \( \overline{CD} \) is given by the formula \( P=\frac{\text{length of }CD}{\text{length of }AB} \). Substituting the values, we get \( P=\frac{10}{50}=0.20 \)

Answer:

\( 0.20 \)
