Shape of the universe at least two angles equal 90°, which makes the sum of the 3 angles greater than 180°. An example of a negatively curved surface would be the shape of a saddle or mountain pass. A triangle drawn on a saddle surface will have the sum of the angles adding up to less than 180°. General relativity explains that mass and energy bend the curvature of spacetime and is used to determine what curvature the universe has by using a value called the density parameter, represented with Omega (). The density parameter is the average density of the universe divided by
Proofs of trigonometric identities division identity They remain valid for angles greater than 90° and for negative angles. Or Two angles whose sum is π/2 radians (90 degrees) are "complementary". In the diagram, the angles at vertices A and B are complementary, so we can exchange a and b, and change θ to π/2 − θ, obtaining: Identity 1: The following two results follow from this and the ratio identities. To obtain the first, divide both sides of formula_21 by formula_23; for the second, divide by formula_24. Similarly Identity 2: The following accounts for all three reciprocal functions. Proof 2: Refer to the triangle
