Special right triangle triangles are used to aid in calculating common trigonometric functions, as below: The 45°–45°–90° triangle, the 30°–60°–90° triangle, and the equilateral/equiangular (60°–60°–60°) triangle are the three Möbius triangles in the plane, meaning that they tessellate the plane via reflections in their sides; see Triangle group. In plane geometry, constructing the diagonal of a square results in a triangle whose three angles are in the ratio 1 : 1 : 2, adding up to 180° or radians. Hence, the angles respectively measure 45° (), 45° (), and 90° (). The sides in this triangle are in the ratio 1 : 1
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
