Sum of angles of a triangle to zero. For a spherical triangle, the sum of the angles is greater than 180° and can be up to 540°. Specifically, the sum of the angles is where "f" is the fraction of the sphere's area which is enclosed by the triangle. Note that spherical geometry does not satisfy several of Euclid's axioms (including the parallel postulate.) Angles between adjacent sides of a triangle are referred to as "interior" angles in Euclidean and other geometries. "Exterior" angles can be also defined, and the Euclidean triangle postulate can be formulated as the exterior angle theorem. One can also consider the
Schwarz triangle function case the region in the sector between the radii "OA" and "OB" outside the edge "AB" is convex as the intersection of three convex regions. By induction the angles at "A" and "B" are greater than or equal to /3. Thus the geodesics to "C" from "A" and "B" start off in the region; by convexity, the triangle "ABC" lies wholly inside the region. The quadrilateral "OACB" has all its angles less than (since "OAB" is a geodesic triangle), so is convex. Hence the radius "OC" lies inside the angle of the triangle "ABC" near "C". Thus the angles between
