text: 570. Theorem. The sum of the sides of a spherical triangle may be anything between 0 and a circumference.
ref: 1876, Edward Olney, A Treatise on Special Or Elementary Geometry, Sheldon & Company, page 220:
text: 1893, Crossley William Crosby Barlow, George Hartley Bryan, Elementary Mathematical Astronomy, W. B. Clive, page v,
A spherical triangle, like a plane triangle, has six parts, viz., its three sides and its three angles. The sides are generally measured by the angles they subtend, so that the six parts are all expressed as angles.
Any three parts suffice to determine a spherical triangle, but there are certain "ambiguous cases" when the problem admits of more than one solution. The formulæ required in solving spherical triangles form the subject of Spherical Trigonometry, and are in every case different from the analogous formulæ in Plane Trigonometry. There is this further difference, that a spherical triangle is completely determined if its three angles are given.
text: The angles in a spherical triangle do not have to add up to 180 degrees. It is possible for a spherical triangle to have 3 right angles.
