A 7-meter long wire is cut into two pieces. If the longer piece is then used to form a perimeter of a square, what is the probability that the area of the square will be more than 1 if the original wire was cut at an arbitrary point?
Options.
A) 4/5  B) 6/7  C) 5/8  D) 7/9  E) 9/10
The longer wire will form a square with an area more than 1 if the wire is cut at a point within three meters of either end. The probability of this is 6/7.   The answer is 6/7.
