Question 38259: if one angle measures 140 degrees, what is the probability that if you draw a line inbetween that both angles will be acute? My first answer was 89:140, but i'm not sure if i worked it correctly. Answer by fractalier(6550) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! The way I looked at is this...
The random line can be drawn in the middle 39.999999 degrees of the large angle and still split the 140 degree angle into two acute angles, so the odds are roughly 40 out of 140, or 2/7.
