En el triángulo de posición siempre se cumple que:In the spherical navigational triangle (triángulo de posición), it always holds that:
Show the answer
Correct answer: c) Both the sides and the angles are, individually, less than 180°.
Why it is correct
The navigational triangle is a proper (Euler) spherical triangle formed by great-circle arcs, so every individual side and every individual interior angle is strictly less than 180°.
Why the others are not
- a) In a spherical triangle the sum of the three sides lies between 0° and 360°, not a fixed 180°.
- b) In a spherical triangle the sum of the interior angles is always greater than 180° (and less than 540°).
- d) Option c) is a fundamental property of every Euler spherical triangle.
How to work it out in the exam
- Spherical navigational triangle: each side and each angle is individually less than 180°.
