Triangle sum to more than 180°. A hyperbolic triangle can be obtained by drawing on a negatively curved surface, such as a saddle surface, and a spherical triangle can be obtained by drawing on a positively curved surface such as a sphere. Thus, if one draws a giant triangle on the surface of the Earth, one will find that the sum of the measures of its angles is greater than 180°; in fact it will be between 180° and 540°. In particular it is possible to draw a triangle on a sphere such that the measure of each of its internal
Schwarz triangle function classification of arithmetic triangle groups (there are only finitely many) and determined when two of them are commensurable. The particular example is related to Bring's curve and the arithmetic theory implies that the triangle group for Δ contains the triangle group for the triangle Δ with angles /4, /4 and /5 as a non-normal subgroup of index 6. Doubling the triangles Δ and Δ, this implies that there should be a relation between 6 triangles Δ with angles /2, /5 and /5 and hyperbolic area /10 and a triangle Δ with angles /5, /5 and /10 and hyperbolic area 3/5.
