Triangle angles is equal to 90°, adding up to a total of 270°. Specifically, on a sphere the sum of the angles of a triangle is where "f" is the fraction of the sphere's area which is enclosed by the triangle. For example, suppose that we draw a triangle on the Earth's surface with vertices at the North Pole, at a point on the equator at 0° longitude, and a point on the equator at 90° West longitude. The great circle line between the latter two points is the equator, and the great circle line between either of those points and
Fermat point one another at angles of 60°. The triangles RAC and BAQ are congruent because the second is a 60° rotation of the first about A. Hence ∠ARF = ∠ABF and ∠AQF = ∠ACF. By the converse of the inscribed angle theorem applied to the segment AF, the points ARBF are concyclic (they lie on a circle). Similarly, the points AFCQ are concyclic. ∠ARB = 60°, so ∠AFB = 120°, using the inscribed angle theorem. Similarly, ∠AFC = 120°. So ∠BFC = 120°. So, ∠BFC and ∠BPC add up to 180°. Using the inscribed angle theorem, this implies that the points
