Three of the six vertices of a regular hexagon are chosen the random. What is the probability that the triangle with these vertices is equilateral.

Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

To solve the problem of finding the probability that a triangle formed by randomly selecting three vertices from a regular hexagon is equilateral, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Understand the Structure of the Hexagon A regular hexagon has 6 vertices. We can label them as A, B, C, D, E, and F. ### Step 2: Calculate the Total Ways to Choose 3 Vertices We need to find the total number of ways to choose 3 vertices from 6. This can be calculated using the combination formula: ...
