Find the area of the hyperbolic (geodesic) triangle with vertices (0, 0),(0, 1) and (1, 0).
I'm not really sure where to start for this question. I'm aware of the Gauss-Bonnet theorem $Area = pi -(A+B+C)$ where $A,B,C$ are the interior angles of the triangle. However I am not sure how to go about calculating these angles given the vertices.

Where do these points live? Apparently in neither the hyperbolic half-plane nor the hyperbolic disk. So what's your model for the geometry?

@TedShifrin could be a doubly ideal triangle in the disc

@WillJagy: Indeed, could be ... Could be doubly ideal in the half-plane, too, for that matter.

LOL, @Will, I think a piece of paper and pencil will suffice. And knowledge of what curves are the geodesics.

Yes, you need a semicircle perpendicular to the $x$-axis passing through $(0,1)$ and $(1,0)$. I believe $pi/2$ is correct.
