Abstract

For a triangle in the hyperbolic plane, let $\alpha,\beta,\gamma$ denote the angles opposite the sides $a,b,c$, respectively. Also, let $h$ be the height of the altitude to side $c$. Under the assumption that $\alpha,\beta, \gamma$ can be chosen uniformly in the interval $(0,\pi)$ and it is given that $\alpha+\beta+\gamma c + h$ holds approximately 79\% of the time. To accomplish this, we prove a number of theoretical results to make sure that the probability can be computed to an arbitrary precision, and the error can be bounded.
