Tick Tock Triangle
Problem
The hour hand on a wall clock is 3 inches long and the minute hand is 4 inches long. At three o"clock, the hands form a 3-4-5 right angle triangle.
At a random time during the day it is noted that the triangle formed by the hands has integer length sides. What is the probability that the triangle is isosceles?
