Problem Solving (PS) | Re: What is the probability of randomly selecting one of the shortest diag

The number of diagonals of a polygon is given in the formula: n(n-3)/2 , where n is the number of sides. In the case of the hexagon, the n=6.

A regular hexagon has diagonals: 6(6-3)/2=9 diagonals

Of these 9, 6 are smaller diagonals and three are longer diagonals.

That's a 6/9 = 2/3 chance of randomly picking a shorter diagonal.
