Triangle center Since rotations and translations may be regarded as double reflections they too must preserve triangle centers. These invariance properties provide justification for the definition. Some other names for dilation are uniform scaling, isotropic scaling, homothety, and homothecy. The study of triangle centers traditionally is concerned with Euclidean geometry, but triangle centers can also be studied in hyperbolic geometry. Using gyrotrigonometry, expressions for trigonometric barycentric coordinates can be calculated that have the same form for both Euclidean and hyperbolic geometry. In order for the expressions to coincide, the expressions must "not" encapsulate the specification of the angle sum being 180 degrees.
Schwarz triangle function of the upper half plane. To see how to handle the case when an angle of Δ is a right angle, note that the inequality implies that if one of the angles is a right angle, say "a" = 2, then both "b" and "c" are greater than 2 and one of them, "b" say, must be greater than 3. In this case, reflecting the triangle across the side AB gives an isosceles hyperbolic triangle with angles /"c", /"c" and 2/"b". If 2/"b" ≤ /3, i.e. "b" is greater than 5, then all the angles of the doubled triangle are
