HELP ME PLS

#

Jin-Hee and her brothers are setting out on a resource-gathering expedition to gather materials for Paper City! On the first night, they stop to camp in an area just outside Thumbtack Forest.

#

As her brothers unpack supplies from the car, Jin-Hee searches for a good spot on which to set up their tent. The campgrounds can be divided into a cartesian plane. The (X) and (Y) coordinates fall between (-5) and (5), representing the number of miles from the center of the grounds, located at point ((0,0)).

Jin-Hee thinks it might be easier to pick random coordinates on which to set up the tent, but there is a triangular lake with the vertices \(A \hspace{1mm} (0,0)\), \(B \hspace{1mm} (4,0)\), and \(C \hspace{1mm} (4,4)\) on the campgrounds. What is the probability that Jin-Hee would randomly select a coordinate that falls within the lake? Write your answer as a fraction.

yes

: There are (121) possible coordinate combinations when (X) and (Y) are between (-5) and (5).
