Reuleaux triangle any curve of given constant width. This area is where "s" is the constant width. One method for deriving this area formula is to partition the Reuleaux triangle into an inner equilateral triangle and three curvilinear regions between this inner triangle and the arcs forming the Reuleaux triangle, and then add the areas of these four sets. At the other extreme, the curve of constant width that has the maximum possible area is a circular disk, which has area formula_2. The angles made by each pair of arcs at the corners of a Reuleaux triangle are all equal to 120°.
Schwarz triangle function Δ has angles /"a", /"b" and /"c" with "a", "b", "c" integers greater than 1. The hyperbolic area of Δ equals – /"a" – /"b" – /"c", so that The construction of a tessellation will first be carried out for the case when "a", "b" and "c" are greater than 2. The original triangle Δ gives a convex polygon "P" with 3 vertices. At each of the three vertices the triangle can be successively reflected through edges emanating from the vertices to produce 2"m" copies of the triangle where the angle at the vertex is /"m". The triangles do not
