Problem

Two circles of radius 1 are to be constructed as follows. The center of circle is chosen uniformly and at random from the line segment joining and . The center of circle is chosen uniformly and at random, and independently of the first choice, from the line segment joining to . What is the probability that circles and intersect?
(A)
(B)
(C)
(D)
(E)
Solution
Circles centered at and will overlap if and are closer to each other than if the circles were tangent. The circles are tangent when the distance between their centers is equal to the sum of their radii. Thus, the distance from to will be . Since and are separated by vertically, they must be separated by horizontally. Thus, if , the circles intersect. Now, plot the two random variables and on the coordinate plane. Each variable ranges from to . The circles intersect if the variables are within of each other. Thus, the area in which the circles don't intersect is equal to the total area of two small triangles on opposite corners, each of area . So, the total area of the 2 triangles sums to . Since the total square has an area of , the probability of the circles not intersecting is . But remember, we want the probability that they do intersect. We conclude the probability the circles intersect is:
Final answer
