MHB Probability of Even # or Mult. of 3 from 1-10

AI Thread Summary
The discussion focuses on calculating the probability of selecting an even number or a multiple of 3 from the numbers 1 to 10. Even numbers in this range are 2, 4, 6, 8, and 10, while the multiples of 3 are 3, 6, and 9. The overlap between even numbers and multiples of 3 includes the number 6. Participants clarify that "multiply of 3" refers to multiples of 3, specifically 3, 6, and 9. The final probability is derived from the total favorable outcomes versus the total possible outcomes.

Thread 'Trigonometry problem of interest'

Seemingly by some mathematical coincidence, a hexagon of sides 2,2,7,7, 11, and 11 can be inscribed in a circle of radius 7. The other day I saw a math problem on line, which they said came from a Polish Olympiad, where you compute the length x of the 3rd side which is the same as the radius, so that the sides of length 2,x, and 11 are inscribed on the arc of a semi-circle. The law of cosines applied twice gives the answer for x of exactly 7, but the arithmetic is so complex that the...
