Probability distributions arising from isoperimetric random triangles
We analyze the family of triangles whose sides come from a random subdivision of a given line segment into three segments. The usual geometric measurements on these random triangles (heights, bisectors, medians, angles, area, radii of the incircle, excircles, circumcircle) become random variables for which we determine the distribution function, the probability density, the expectation, the variance and higher order moments. This work can serve as a basis for activities at the college or university level. It is located at the crossroads between probability, geometry, integral calculus, special functions and computer algebra.
