Hi farhan and welcome to MHB! :D

We ask that our users show their progress (work thus far or thoughts on how to begin) when posting questions. This way our helpers can see where you are stuck or may be going astray and will be able to post the best help possible without potentially making a suggestion which you have already tried, which would waste your time and that of the helper.

Can you post what you have done so far?

Also, I've moved your post into a new thread so the topic discussion can easily be referenced by other members. In future, please post your questions in their own thread. :)

Our mission here at MHB is not to do your work, but to help you figure out how to do it, so you actually learn by being part of the process, rather than simply being given the answer.

If you are given two sets $A$ and $B$, then the union of those sets $A\cup B$ is the set containing all elements found in either $A$ or $B$, while the intersection $A\cap B$ of those sets is the set containing all elements found in $A$ and $B$.

For example, suppose we are given:

$$A=\{1,2,3\}$$

$$B=\{2,3,4\}$$

Then we have:

$$A\cup B=\{1,2,3,4\}$$

$$A\cap B=\{2,3\}$$

Can you now post some progress on your question?
 
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...
Thread 'Imaginary Pythagoras'
I posted this in the Lame Math thread, but it's got me thinking. Is there any validity to this? Or is it really just a mathematical trick? Naively, I see that i2 + plus 12 does equal zero2. But does this have a meaning? I know one can treat the imaginary number line as just another axis like the reals, but does that mean this does represent a triangle in the complex plane with a hypotenuse of length zero? Ibix offered a rendering of the diagram using what I assume is matrix* notation...
Fermat's Last Theorem has long been one of the most famous mathematical problems, and is now one of the most famous theorems. It simply states that the equation $$ a^n+b^n=c^n $$ has no solutions with positive integers if ##n>2.## It was named after Pierre de Fermat (1607-1665). The problem itself stems from the book Arithmetica by Diophantus of Alexandria. It gained popularity because Fermat noted in his copy "Cubum autem in duos cubos, aut quadratoquadratum in duos quadratoquadratos, et...
