Acute triangles in the n-ball
Using Baddeley's [1] extension of Crofton's differential equation we derive an elementary integral formula for the probability that three randomly chosen points in the unit n-ball in ℝn, with respect to Lebesgue measure, form an acute triangle. When the dimension is 2 this probability is 4/π2 − 1/8, while when the dimension is 3 it is 33/70.
