The figure below shows a shaded rectangular region inside a large rectangle: A rectangle of length 10 units and width 5 units is shown. Inside this rectangle is a smaller rectangle of length 4 units and width 2 units placed symmetrically inside the larger rectangle. The smaller rectangle is shaded gray.

What is the probability that a point chosen inside the large rectangle is not in the shaded region? (1 point)

IF ANSWER WILL GIVE 20 points

Step-by-step explanation:

First we need to find the areas of both rectangles.

And area of larger rectangle = 10*5=50 square units

Area of smaller rectangle = 7*3 = 21 square units

Area between the two rectangles, = 50-21=29 square units

And since, we have to find the probability that a point is chosen is not in the shaded rectangle that is the smaller rectangle, so it means we have to find the probability of the point is chosen in the area between the two rectangles . Therefore,

the answer is 16%
