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
Integer triangle formula_112 and formula_113 generate the same triple. Unfortunately the two pairs can both be of gcd=3, so we can't avoid duplicates by simply skipping that case. Instead, duplicates can be avoided by formula_27 going only till formula_115. Note that we still need to divide by 3 if gcd=3. The only solution for formula_116 under the above constraints is formula_117 for formula_118. With this additional formula_119 constraint all triples can be generated uniquely. An Eisenstein triple is a set of integers which are the lengths of the sides of a triangle where one of the angles is 60 degrees. Integer triangles
