Equilateral triangle terms of side length "a" can be derived directly using the Pythagorean theorem or using trigonometry. The area of a triangle is half of one side "a" times the height "h" from that side: The legs of either right triangle formed by an altitude of the equilateral triangle are half of the base "a", and the hypotenuse is the side "a" of the equilateral triangle. The height of an equilateral triangle can be found using the Pythagorean theorem so that Substituting "h" into the area formula (1/2)"ah" gives the area formula for the equilateral triangle: Using trigonometry, the area of
Schwarz triangle function general method which works for all right angled triangles for which the two other angles are less than or equal to /4. The previous method for constructing "P", "P", ... is modified by adding an extra triangle each time an angle 3/2 arises at a vertex. The same reasoning applies to prove there is no overlapping and that the tiling covers the hyperbolic upper half plane. On the other hand, the given configuration gives rise to an arithmetic triangle group. These were first studied in . and have given rise to an extensive literature. In 1977 Takeuchi obtained a complete
