Review text

Working within the Poincaré half-plane model for the hyperbolic plane, the author gives in this Classroom Note a short proof that each real number \(d\), such that \(0<d <\pi\), is the sum of the radian measures of the angles of some isosceles triangle. He expresses his hope that his proof finds use as enrichment material for students who are familiar with trigonometric and inverse trigonometric functions, as well as differential and integral calculus.
