Hello I am Tracy Smith from New Brunswick, Canada I have one very difficult question my math teacher left our class with it is a question that is not assignemed for homework and does not count as an assignment or anything of that idea, and yes, she DOES expect us to find help if we decide to attmpt it, because as you will see it is rather difficult for an highschool student to perform. If you are either unable to answer the question, or do not have the time to help me I understand and accept that, but an effort is much appreciated. Here goes: Four points are placed at random on a piece of paper, connect the 3 points which create the triangle of the largest area. What is the probability that the 4th point is in the triangle, Tricky eh? Thank you for your time, Tracy
Re: probablility of a forth point being contained within a triangle
