A 10 meter long wire is cut into two pieces. If the longer piece is then used to form a perimeter of a square, what is the probability that the area of the square will be more than 4 if the original wire was cut at an arbitrary point?
Choose the correct choice from the following options.
A) 1 / 6	B) 1 / 5	C) 3 / 10	D) 1 / 3	E) 4 / 10

Rationale: a square with an area of 4 has a perimeter of 8 . for the area to be > 4 , the longer piece must be > 8 . the wire must be cut within 2 meters from either end . the probability of this is 4 / 10 = 2 / 5 . the answer is e .
Answer: E
