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
Elliptic geometry geometry is that the sum of the interior angles of a triangle is greater than 180 degrees. In the spherical model, for example, a triangle can be constructed with vertices at the locations where the three positive Cartesian coordinate axes intersect the sphere, and all three of its internal angles are 90 degrees, summing to 270 degrees. For sufficiently small triangles, the excess over 180 degrees can be made arbitrarily small. The Pythagorean theorem fails in elliptic geometry. In the 90°–90°–90° triangle described above, all three sides have the same length, and consequently do not satisfy formula_1. The Pythagorean result
