Isosceles triangle two equal sides, and for isosceles sets, sets of points every three of which form an isosceles triangle. In an isosceles triangle that has exactly two equal sides, the equal sides are called legs and the third side is called the base. The angle included by the legs is called the "vertex angle" and the angles that have the base as one of their sides are called the "base angles". The vertex opposite the base is called the apex. In the equilateral triangle case, since all sides are equal, any side can be called the base. Whether an isosceles triangle
Schwarz triangle function case the region in the sector between the radii "OA" and "OB" outside the edge "AB" is convex as the intersection of three convex regions. By induction the angles at "A" and "B" are greater than or equal to /3. Thus the geodesics to "C" from "A" and "B" start off in the region; by convexity, the triangle "ABC" lies wholly inside the region. The quadrilateral "OACB" has all its angles less than (since "OAB" is a geodesic triangle), so is convex. Hence the radius "OC" lies inside the angle of the triangle "ABC" near "C". Thus the angles between
