The trigonometry on the Lobachevskii plane (cf. Lobachevskii geometry). Let $a$, $b$, $c$ be the lengths of the sides of a triangle on the Lobachevskii plane, and let $\alpha$, $\beta$, $\gamma$ be the angles of this triangle. The following relationship (the cosine theorem), which relates these sides and angles, is valid: \[ \cosh a = \cosh b \cosh c - \sinh b \sinh c \cos \alpha. \] All the remaining relations of hyperbolic trigonometry follow from this one, such as the so-called sine theorem: \[ \frac{\sin\alpha}{\sinh a} = \frac{\sin\beta}{\sinh b} = \frac{\sin\gamma}{\sinh c} \]
