The trigonometry on the Lobachevskii plane (cf. Lobachevskii geometry). Let , , be the lengths of the sides of a triangle on the Lobachevskii plane, and let be the angles of this triangle. The following relationship (the cosine theorem), which relates with , is valid:

All the remaining relations of hyperbolic trigonometry follow from this one, such as the so-called sine theorem:
