When a marble is dropped into the box at random, it falls into one of the compartments. What is the probability that it will fall into compartment F.

Dear student
Let x square units be the area of the upper face of each of the components D,E and F is 2x sq. units.Area of square box=x+x+x+2x+2x+2xsq. units=9x sq. unitsPMarble falls in compartment F=Area of compartment FArea of square box=2x9x=29
