in the xy - plane , a triangle has vertices ( 0,0 ) , ( 4,0 ) and ( 4,7 ) . if a point ( a , b ) is selected at random from the triangular region , what is the probability that a - b > 0 ?
"the area of the right triangle is ( 1 / 2 ) * 4 * 7 = 14 . only the points ( a , b ) below the line y = x satisfy a - b > 0 . the part of the triangle which is below the line y = x has an area of ( 1 / 2 ) ( 4 ) ( 4 ) = 8 . p ( a - b > 0 ) = 8 / 14 = 4 / 7 the answer is a ."
