%N Decimal expansion of the average product of a side and an adjacent angle of a random Gaussian triangle in two dimensions.

%C Coordinates are independent normally distributed random variables with mean 0 and variance 1.

%C As of 2010, an exact expression of this constant was not known, according to Steven Finch.

%C This average product is noticeably smaller than the product of the averages sqrt(Pi)*Pi/3 = 1.8561..., the side length being negatively correlated with the adjacent angle value.

%F Equals (1/(3*Pi)*Integral_{t=0..infinity} (Integral_{y=0..infinity} (Integral_{t=0..Pi} x^2*y*t*exp(-(1/3)*x^2-x*y*cos(t) + y^2) dt) dy) dx.

%F Equals (-sqrt(3)*log(3) + Pi^2 - 8*Li_2(2-sqrt(3)) + 2*Li_2(7-4*sqrt(3)))/(2*sqrt(Pi)), where Li_2 is the dilogarithm function.
