Saccheri–Legendre theorem 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 the axiom that is equivalent to the parallel postulate of Euclid. The theorem is named after Giovanni Girolamo Saccheri and Adrien-Marie Legendre. The existence of at least one triangle with angle sum of 180 degrees in absolute geometry implies Euclid's parallel postulate. Similarly, the existence of at least one triangle with angle sum of less than 180 degrees
Hyperbolic triangle relations between the sides "s" and the angles "A" of an equilateral triangle (a triangle where all sides have the same length and all angles are equal). The relations are: Whether "C" is a right angle or not, the following relationships hold: The hyperbolic law of cosines is as follows: Its dual theorem is There is also a "law of sines": and a four-parts formula: For hyperbolic trigonometry: Hyperbolic triangle In hyperbolic geometry, a hyperbolic triangle is a triangle in the hyperbolic plane. It consists of three line segments called "sides" or "edges" and three points called "angles" or "vertices".
