Saccheri–Legendre theorem implies the characteristic postulate of hyperbolic geometry. Max Dehn gave an example of a non-Legendrian geometry where the angle sum of a triangle is greater than 180 degrees, and a semi-Euclidean geometry where there is a triangle with an angle sum of 180 degrees but Euclid's parallel postulate fails. In Dehn's geometries the Archimedean axiom does not hold. Saccheri–Legendre theorem In absolute geometry, the Saccheri–Legendre theorem states that the sum of the angles in a triangle is at most 180°. Absolute geometry is the geometry obtained from assuming all the axioms that lead to Euclidean geometry with the exception of
Schwarz triangle function classification of arithmetic triangle groups (there are only finitely many) and determined when two of them are commensurable. The particular example is related to Bring's curve and the arithmetic theory implies that the triangle group for Δ contains the triangle group for the triangle Δ with angles /4, /4 and /5 as a non-normal subgroup of index 6. Doubling the triangles Δ and Δ, this implies that there should be a relation between 6 triangles Δ with angles /2, /5 and /5 and hyperbolic area /10 and a triangle Δ with angles /5, /5 and /10 and hyperbolic area 3/5.
