What is the probability that if you select four dots at random and connect them, the figure will be a square? Any help would be great. Thanks
You can put this solution on YOUR website! if we put numbers at the 9 points
1*2*3*
4*5*6*
7*8*9*
you can form squares using:
1245
2356
4578
5689
1379
2468
then you can form 6 squares so probability is 6/126 =1/21
