A roll of eight on a pair of six-sided dice in the game of craps. The probability of rolling "eighter from Decatur" is 5/36, or 13.888...%.

A roll of two 1s (the lowest roll possible) on a pair of six-sided dice. The probability of rolling snake eyes is 1/36, or 2.777...%.

If F is an algebraic Galois extension field of K such that the Galois group of the extension is Abelian, then F is said to be an Abelian extension of K. For example, ...

Specifying three sides uniquely determines a triangle whose area is given by Heron's formula, K=sqrt(s(s-a)(s-b)(s-c)), (1) where s=1/2(a+b+c) (2) is the semiperimeter of the ...

The point of coincidence of P and P^' in Fagnano's theorem.

Specifying three angles A, B, and C does not uniquely define a triangle, but any two triangles with the same angles are similar. Specifying two angles of a triangle ...

Specifying two angles A and B and a side a opposite A uniquely determines a triangle with area K = (a^2sinBsinC)/(2sinA) (1) = (a^2sinBsin(pi-A-B))/(2sinA). (2) The third ...

Specifying two adjacent angles A and B and the side between them c uniquely (up to geometric congruence) determines a triangle with area K=(c^2)/(2(cotA+cotB)). (1) The angle ...

Specifying two sides and the angle between them uniquely (up to geometric congruence) determines a triangle. Let c be the base length and h be the height. Then the area is ...

The identity _2F_1(x,-x;x+n+1;-1)=(Gamma(x+n+1)Gamma(1/2n+1))/(Gamma(x+1/2n+1)Gamma(n+1)), or equivalently ...
