Triangle the North Pole is a line of longitude; so there are right angles at the two points on the equator. Moreover, the angle at the North Pole is also 90° because the other two vertices differ by 90° of longitude. So the sum of the angles in this triangle is . The triangle encloses 1/4 of the northern hemisphere (90°/360° as viewed from the North Pole) and therefore 1/8 of the Earth's surface, so in the formula ; thus the formula correctly gives the sum of the triangle's angles as 270°. From the above angle sum formula we can also
Schwarz triangle function of the upper half plane. To see how to handle the case when an angle of Δ is a right angle, note that the inequality implies that if one of the angles is a right angle, say "a" = 2, then both "b" and "c" are greater than 2 and one of them, "b" say, must be greater than 3. In this case, reflecting the triangle across the side AB gives an isosceles hyperbolic triangle with angles /"c", /"c" and 2/"b". If 2/"b" ≤ /3, i.e. "b" is greater than 5, then all the angles of the doubled triangle are
