Question
A missing helicopter is reported to have crashed somewhere in the rectangular region as shown in figure. What is the probability that it crashed inside the lake shown in the figure?

Answer
For rectangular region:
Length = 9 km, Breadth = 4.5 km
Area of rectangular region = Length × Breadth
= 9 × 4.5
= 40.5 sq. km
For rectangular Lake:
length = 9 – 6 = 3 km
breadth = 4.5 – 2 = 2.5 km
Area of rectangular lake = length × breadth
= 3 × 2.5
= 7.5 sq. km
Let A be the event that the helicopter crashed inside the lake.
$P ( A )=\frac{\text { Area of lack }}{\text { Area of rectangular region }}$
$=\frac{7.5}{40.5}$
$=\frac{70}{405}$
$P(A)=\frac{5}{27}$
Length = 9 km, Breadth = 4.5 km
Area of rectangular region = Length × Breadth
= 9 × 4.5
= 40.5 sq. km
For rectangular Lake:
length = 9 – 6 = 3 km
breadth = 4.5 – 2 = 2.5 km
Area of rectangular lake = length × breadth
= 3 × 2.5
= 7.5 sq. km
Let A be the event that the helicopter crashed inside the lake.
$P ( A )=\frac{\text { Area of lack }}{\text { Area of rectangular region }}$
$=\frac{7.5}{40.5}$
$=\frac{70}{405}$
$P(A)=\frac{5}{27}$
