This reminds me of a very beautiful result in spherical geometry, called Girard’s Theorem:
On the unit sphere, a spherical triangle with angles A, B, and C has area A + B + C - π.
The standard proof involves looking at a diagram, and it’s extremely pleasant once you digest it all. I remember being very proud to recreate the diagram and get it all sorted out in my head.
Here’s a nice little intro on the topic: https://www.math.csi.cuny.edu/abhijit/623/spherical-triangle.pdf

I was relieved to be done with my math minor and now I'm avoiding studying for finals by reading lecture notes for a math class I'm not in.
:sicko-yes:
But congrats on the minor :)
Thank you! :)
