Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(\frac{1}{13}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(P = \frac{|c|}{\sqrt{(a-b)^2 + 4h^2}}\) \(a=6, b=-6, h=-\frac{5}{2}, c=-1\) \(P = \frac{|-1|}{\sqrt{(6 - (-6))^2 + 4(-\frac{5}{2})^2}}\) \(P = \frac{1}{\sqrt{(12)^2 + 4(\frac{25}{4})}}\) \(P = \frac{1}{\sqrt{144 + 25}}\) \(P = \frac{1}{\sqrt{169}}\) \(P = \frac{1}{13}\)
