Shape of the universe at least two angles equal 90°, which makes the sum of the 3 angles greater than 180°. An example of a negatively curved surface would be the shape of a saddle or mountain pass. A triangle drawn on a saddle surface will have the sum of the angles adding up to less than 180°. General relativity explains that mass and energy bend the curvature of spacetime and is used to determine what curvature the universe has by using a value called the density parameter, represented with Omega (). The density parameter is the average density of the universe divided by
Special right triangle within a regular icosahedron of side length "c": the shortest line segment from any vertex "V" to the plane of its five neighbors has length "a", and the endpoints of this line segment together with any of the neighbors of "V" form the vertices of a right triangle with sides "a", "b", and "c". Special right triangle A special right triangle is a right triangle with some regular feature that makes calculations on the triangle easier, or for which simple formulas exist. For example, a right triangle may have angles that form simple relationships, such as 45°–45°–90°. This is called
