If an idea functions great for one part of the problem but does not find the solution to the problem, we want to use the idea again. Using the idea for the line with slope
, we find
. Therefore, the
-intercept of the line with slope
is
. The distance between
.
Then the ratio of the cone's height to its radius is
By drawing four lines from the intersect of the semicircles to their centers, we have split the white region into
.Thus the answer is
.
Here is a less complicated way than that of the user above. If you draw a line segment from each vertex to the center of the octagon and draw the rectangle ABEF( In red), you can see that two of the triangles (In blue) share the same base and height with half the rectangle. Therefore, the rectangle's area is the same as 4 of the 8 triangles, and is

![]()
Let the first term in each combination represent the thousands digit and the second term represent the hundreds digit. We can use this to find the total amount of four-digit numbers.
![]()
We have the following:
and
. Then
for some integers
and
. Taking mod 3 gives:
so
for some integer
. But
so
. Bounding this gives us:
so
. Dividing by
gives
so
. This gives ![]()
The number is in the form ![]()
Notice that the number is divisible by
if the sum of the digits of
is divisible by ![]()
Our first number that is divisible by
is
, next is
.. Notice
goes from ![]()
Hence, there are
distinct four digit numbers.
Following the form
in Solution 4, notice that
to satisfy our condition. Choose a value of
from 1 to 9. For
, there are exactly 4 values of
. For the remaining 6 digits, there are 3 choices for y. So our answer is
.
There are
possible values for the first two digits. One-third of them yield a multiple of
, so the answer is ![]()
