Acute and Obtuse Triangle Simulation

This Monte Carlo Simulation will choose 3 angles that sum to 180 degrees and construct a triangle with those measurements. It will repeat this experiment for a user-determined number of trials. Each trial adds to a running average that shows the proportion of acute vs obtuse triangles generated during the simulation. The result can be confirmed analytically to be around 19.31% acute.
