Question

fiona guesses that the coin is likely to land in the blue area. which explains whether or not fiona is correct and why? fiona is correct because there are blue areas in the square. fiona is correct because more than half of the square is blue. fiona is not correct because the coin will definitely land in the white area. fiona is not correct because a larger part of the square is white.

Explanation:

To determine if Fiona is correct, we analyze the area of the square. The blue region consists of a triangle and a circle. The triangle's area is half of the square's area (since a triangle with base and height equal to the square's side has area $\frac{1}{2} \times side \times side$, and the square's area is $side \times side$). The circle adds more blue area, so the total blue area is more than half of the square. Thus, the probability of the coin landing in the blue area is greater than 0.5, meaning Fiona is correct because more than half of the square is blue.

Answer:

Fiona is correct because more than half of the square is blue. (Corresponding to the option: Fiona is correct because more than half of the square is blue.)
