Problem 14 - Entrance Test

A point is chosen uniformly inside a unit square. What is the probability that its distance to the nearest side is less than 0.25?

Correct: B

The region where distance ≥0.25 is a smaller square of side 0.5 centered, area 0.25. So probability distance <0.25 is 1-0.25=0.75.
