In a plane, points P and Q are 20 inches apart. If point R is randomly chosen from all the points in the plane that are 20 inches from P, what is the probability that R is closer to P than it is to Q ?
A. 0
B. 1/4
C. 1/3
D. 1/2
E. 2/3
答案:E
解析:首先我们要注意所有R点构成的集合是以P为圆心,20 inches为半径的圆,在圆上要找离P更近离Q更远的点(Q是圆上一点),则先可以做出PQ的垂直平分线,垂直平分线和圆的两个焦点就是分界点,在劣弧上的点离Q更近,在优弧上的点离P更近,所形成的圆心角是120°(能算出来吗?),所以在优弧上的点占三分之二,所以正确答案选E选项。大概图形如下:
