Find the probability that a point in the figure chosen at random is in the
shaded kite. *Remember, the are of a kite is found by one half of diagonal
1 times diagonal 2. *
A)1/3
B)1/4
C)3/4
D)1/2

Correct option: D) 1/2

Step-by-step explanation:

First we need to find the area of the kite and the area of the rectangle.

The diagonals of the kite are 16 and 12, as they are parallel to the sides of the rectangle.

So the area of the kite is A1 = (1/2) * 16 * 12 = 96

The area of the rectagle is the product of the sides, so A2 = 16 * 12 = 192

Now, to find the probability of a random point being inside the kite, we just need to divide the area of the kite by the area of the rectangle:

Probability = A1 / A2 = 96 / 192 = 1/2

Correct option: D)

step-by-step explanation:

i think something is missing in your question because y-1=(x-12) would not pass through the point (-4,-3). because if you replace x by -4 your are supposed to find y=-3 which is not the case her. if you replace x by -4 you find =-15.

i assume the right equation is y-1=1/4*(x-12) because this one is passing through both your points (if you are interested to know how i found that out i can tell you).

in this equation if i replace x by -4 i find y=-3 and if i replace x by 12, i find y=1 so the line representing this equation is passing through those 2 points.

then the standard form of the equation is finding an expression of y in function of x

y-1=1/4*(x-12)

y=x/4-3+1

y=x/4-2

hope that .

do you confirm there was a mistake in the question?
