Calabi triangle triangle or the Calabi triangle. Thus, the Calabi triangle may be defined as a triangle that is not equilateral and has three placements for its largest square. The Calabi triangle is isosceles. The ratio of the base to either leg is which approximates to 1.55138752454. In terms of trigonometric functions, it is It is the largest positive root of and has continued fraction representation [1, 1, 1, 4, 2, 1, 2, 1, 5, 2, 1, 3, 1, 1, 390, ...]. The Calabi triangle is obtuse with base angles 39.1320261...° and third angle 101.7359477...°. Calabi triangle The Calabi triangle is a
Space (mathematics) projective geometry nor defined from the notions mentioned there. The question "what is the sum of the three angles of a triangle" is meaningful in Euclidean geometry but meaningless in projective geometry. A different situation appeared in the 19th century: in some geometries the sum of the three angles of a triangle is well-defined but different from the classical value (180 degrees). Non-Euclidean hyperbolic geometry, introduced by Nikolai Lobachevsky in 1829 and János Bolyai in 1832 (and Carl Friedrich Gauss in 1816, unpublished) stated that the sum depends on the triangle and is always less than 180 degrees.
