Is this a triangle? - Lemmy.VG

I would have asked this on a math community but I couldn’t find an active one. In a spherical geometry, great circles are “straight lines”. As such, a triangle can have two or even three right angles to it. But what if you go the long way around the back of the sphere? Is that still a triangle?

You didn’t complete the great circles. When you draw 3 pairwise intersecting great circles you produce 2 spherical triangles on opposite sides of the sphere.
