Pentagon triangle picking considers a triangle formed by three points chosen independently and uniformly inside
a regular pentagon of unit area.
The mean triangle area is given by the
case of polygon triangle picking,
An explicit distribution function for this
random area is given by Philip (2012, pp. 17-18).
