The equality constraint a+b+c=1 for random triangle sides corresponds to breaking a stick in two places. An analog a^2+b^2+c^2=1 has a remarkable feature: the bivariate density for angles coincides with that for 3D Gaussian triangles.…

Let T be a random triangle in a disk D of radius R (meaning that vertices are independent and uniform in D). We determine the bivariate density for two arbitrary sides a,b of T. In particular, we compute that E(a*b)=(0.837...)*R^2, which…

If we label the vertices of a triangle with 1, 2 and 4, and the orthocentre with 7, then any of the four numbers 1, 2, 4, 7 is the nim-sum of the other three and is their orthocentre. Regard the triangle as an orthocentric quadrangle.…
