- Homework Statement
- Consider T to be the set of triangles from R3+.
i.e. T = {(a, b, c) | max(a, b, c)<(a+b+c)/2}
Consider an approximately equilateral triangle to be a triangle in which the major side does not exceed the minor side in 10%. Consider E to be the set of approximately equilateral triangles.
i.e. E = {(a, b, c) | max(a, b, c)<1.1*min(a, b, c)}
What is the chance that a given triangle (i.e. picked from T) is approximately equilateral (i.e. belongs to E)
- Relevant Equations
- I don't think there are any specific equation to use.
I just started learning triple integrals. I don't know if this is right (I'm only concerned about the limits of the Integral)
Consider the case ## a>=b>=c ##
$$ P = \lim_{M \rightarrow +\infty} \frac { \int_{a=0}^M \int_{b=\frac a {1.1}}^a \int_{c= \frac a {1.1}}^b \, da \, db \, dc} { \int_{a=0}^M \int_{b=0}^a \int_{c=0}^b \, da \, db \, dc} = \frac 1 {121} = 0.00826 $$
