Hi gAr;
In mathematics, you don't understand things. You just get used to them.
If it ain't broke, fix it until it is.

Re: What do you think?
Hi gAr
One question for the solution in #2424: Doesn't P change as well? It isn't always (a,0)?

Re: What do you think?
Hi anonimnystefy,
We keep that fixed as a reference point, it won't change the answer and we'll have one less integral to calculate..

But, then all of the trangles have one point in (a,0).

Yes, but we still get all possible triangles.

Anybody tried for expected area of quadrilateral in an ellipse?

Re: What do you think?
Okay, the answer I derived was double that of simulated result. Don't know which one's incorrect!

Do you mean a simple or complex quadrilateral?

Re: What do you think?
That complicates the simulation. The order of the points seem to be important.

Re: What do you think?
I sorted the angles four angles first, then calculated the area during simulation.

Did you use the same ellipse? What did you get?

Re: What do you think?
For the same ellipse, the simulation showed about 3.03286.

Re: What do you think?
Hi gAr;
Okay, I will start to work on it now and see if I can get an answer close to that.
