Isosceles triangle is acute, right or obtuse depends only on the angle at its apex. In Euclidean geometry, the base angles cannot be obtuse (greater than 90°) or right (equal to 90°) because their measures would sum to at least 180°, the total of all angles in any Euclidean triangle. Since a triangle is obtuse or right if and only if one of its angles is obtuse or right, respectively, an isosceles triangle is obtuse, right or acute if and only if its apex angle is respectively obtuse, right or acute. In Edwin Abbott's book "Flatland", this classification of shapes was used
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
