Trigonometry angles of any triangle add up to 180 degrees. The two acute angles therefore add up to 90 degrees: they are complementary angles. The shape of a triangle is completely determined, except for similarity, by the angles. Once the angles are known, the ratios of the sides are determined, regardless of the overall size of the triangle. If the length of one of the sides is known, the other two are determined. These ratios are given by the following trigonometric functions of the known angle "A", where "a", " b" and "c" refer to the lengths of the sides in
Schwarz triangle function since the case of two cusps is obtained by doubling a triangle with one cusp and non-zero angles /"a" and /2. So consider the geodesic triangle in the upper half plane with angles 0, /"a", /"b" with "a", "b" integers greater than one. The interior of such a triangle can be realised as the region "X" in the upper half plane lying outside the unit disk |"z"| ≤ 1 and between two lines parallel to the imaginary axis through points "u" and "v" on the unit circle. Let Γ be the triangle group generated by the three reflections in the
