✔ 最佳答案
There are 4 diameters in a regular octagon.
Let AB be the diameter,where A,B are 2 vertices, then △ABP is a right - angled triangle, where P is any vertices other A and B.
As there are 6 choices of P, so 4 × 6 = 24 right - angled triangle can be formed.
The required probability = 24 / 8C3 = 24/56 = 3/7 .

非常好的解答,可以利用 4 條 diagonals 正正是 circumscribed circle 的 diameter,再配合 ∠ in semi-circle = 90° 就可以作出有系統的思考。
