We have to find the probability that the point is in the smaller shaded square.
The probability of a point being located in the smaller square is equal to the ratio between the areas of the smaller square and the bigger square.
Then, we can express it as:
[tex]p=\frac{A_{small}}{A_{big}}=\frac{(s_{small})^2}{(s_{big})^2}=\frac{2^2}{4^2}=\frac{4}{16}=\frac{1}{4}=0.25[/tex]
Answer: the probability tha the point falls in the smaller triangle is equal to 0.25.
