Geometry Geometric Probability
Lecture Description
For this lesson, we are going to go over geometric probability. The first thing that we are going to go over is the Length Probability Postulate. This postulate says that if a point on AB is chosen at random and C is between A and B, then the probability that the point is on AC is AC/AB. Besides the length probability postulate, we are also going to go over the area probability postulate. This one deals with a point in a region chosen at random. This lesson also covers the area of a sector of a circle.

in Example 2 you can find the probability direct using 72/360 = 1/5 because (Pi)r2 will cancel each other

I think the example 3 where you find the side of a square and you said that it was 10 radical 2 but in my opinion i think that's wrong because we know that squares sides and hypotenuse are same because of Pythagorean theorem
and so add 10+10 = 20,20 is the side of a square so the area of a square would be 400cm^2.
