Problem Statement

A random triangle is produced as follows. A pair of standard dice is rolled independently three times to get three random numbers between 2 and 12, inclusive, by adding the numbers that come up on each pair rolled. Call these three random numbers aa, bb, and tt. The random triangle has two sides of lengths aa and bb with the angle between them measuring 15(tāˆ’1)15(t - 1) degrees. What is the probability that the triangle is a right triangle?
