Right triangle a right triangle. For a given angle, a right triangle may be constructed with this angle, and the sides labeled opposite, adjacent and hypotenuse with reference to this angle according to the definitions above. These ratios of the sides do not depend on the particular right triangle chosen, but only on the given angle, since all triangles constructed this way are similar. If, for a given angle α, the opposite side, adjacent side and hypotenuse are labeled "O", "A" and "H" respectively, then the trigonometric functions are For the expression of hyperbolic functions as ratio of the sides of a
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
