Problem 6
There are grid points (uniformly spaced) in the square shown in the diagram below, including the points on the edges. Point
is in the center of the square. Given that point
is randomly chosen among the other
points, what is the probability that the line
is a line of symmetry for the square?
Solution 1
Lines of symmetry go through point
, and there are
directions the lines could go, and there are
dots at each direction.
.
