Special right triangle are in the ratio 1 : 2 : 3 and respectively measure 30° (), 60° (), and 90° (). The sides are in the ratio 1 : : 2. The proof of this fact is clear using trigonometry. The geometric proof is: The 30°–60°–90° triangle is the only right triangle whose angles are in an arithmetic progression. The proof of this fact is simple and follows on from the fact that if "α", , are the angles in the progression then the sum of the angles = 180°. After dividing by 3, the angle must be 60°. The right angle
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.
