Question 533599: Could you help me solve this question: Find the probability of randomly selecting a point inside the region bounded by segments joining the points (1,1), (-1,1), (-1,-1), and (1,-1) such that the sum of the coordinates is less than one-half. So far I have plotted the points but I don't know what to do! Please help, my grade is really struggling and this question will be on my test. Thanks!

You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Area bounded by points (1,1), (-1,1), (-1,-1), and (1,-1) = 4 unit sq.
Area bounded by points that will satisfy the condition i.e (1/4,1/4), (-1/4,1/4),
(-1/4,-1/4), and (1/4,-1/4) = 1/4 unit sq.
required probability = 1/16
if any doubt, you are welcome to contact...
