Answer:
There is a 25% chance that a random point would fall in section A
Step-by-step explanation:
Let's first calculate the area of each section.
Area of a rectangle = length times width:
Area A; 2 * 6 = 12
Area B; 2 * 3 = 6
Area C; 2 * 3 = 6
Area D; 2 * 12 = 24
The total amount of area illustrated is found by adding each section area as 12 + 6 + 6 + 24. This is equal to 48.
Now, we must create a fraction for each section area by dividing the section area by this total number.
Area A; 12/48 = 1/4
Area B; 6/48 = 1/8
Area C; 6/48 = 1/8
Area D; 24/48 = 1/2
Now, we can create a percentage for which the area of A is chosen. Since A is equal to 1/4 of the volume, there is a 25% chance that a random point would fall in section A.
