Non-Euclidean Geometry: Hyperbolic and Elliptic Spaces

Quick fact

On a sphere, you can draw a triangle with three right angles (270° total) — a shape impossible in flat Euclidean space.

Why this is interesting

You've likely learned that the angles of a triangle always add up to 180 degrees. But what if that's only true in a special kind of space?
