Circular triangle Circular triangle In geometry, a circular triangle is a triangle with circular arc edges. A convex circular triangle may be constructed by three circles intersecting each other and represents the area of intersection. Its edges are all curved outwards. The sum of the internal angles of a circular triangle is greater than 180°. A Reuleaux triangle is a special case based on an equilateral triangle where the center of each arc is on the opposite vertex. A circular horn triangle is a similar concept, but represents the area interior to 3 mutually tangent circles so all of the internal angles
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
