Law of Sines - Hyperbolic Case

Hyperbolic Case

In hyperbolic geometry when the curvature is −1, the law of sines becomes

In the special case when B is a right angle, one gets

which is the analog of the formula in Euclidean geometry expressing the sine of an angle as the opposite side divided by the hypotenuse.
