A Quadrilateral Using A

Difficulty: Medium · Topics: Probability, Probability, Combinations

Quadrilaterals are formed using the points A, B, C, D on line d 1 and E, F on the parallel line d 2 as vertices.

One of the quadrilaterals is chosen at random. What is the probability that A is one of its vertices?
