For the last part using geometric probability, why are we able to say that the side lengths are 1/2 even though we're looking for cases when the difference between x and y is greater than 1/2? Wouldn't the sides of the triangle be less than 1/2 and the overall area is smaller than what we found? Thank you in advance.
The side length is 1/2 - an infinitesimal (1/infinity) or in other terms a single point because this point doesn’t have a donate length the side then is 1/2.

Few things never change, And this is good.
Richard is a legend
can you kindly answer one probabilty question ?how can i send that question to you?
It is also problem 20 on the amc12

*i meant finite
Thanks that is helpful
richard looks much older than in the algebra/ pre alg vids
yeah those were 7 years ago
:-)
First.
your not last im last
