Triangle of these conditions hold: (a) each of the angles is positive, and (b) the angles sum to 180°. If degenerate triangles are permitted, angles of 0° are permitted. Three positive angles "α", "β", and "γ", each of them less than 180°, are the angles of a triangle if and only if any one of the following conditions holds: the last equality applying only if none of the angles is 90° (so the tangent function's value is always finite). There are thousands of different constructions that find a special point associated with (and often inside) a triangle, satisfying some unique property:
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
