Great Circles
• A great circle is a circle on a spherical surface such that the plane containing the circle passes through the center of the sphere
– Divides the sphere into two congruent hemispheres

Area of a Lune
• Let’s divide a hemisphere into q equal lunes. – What is the lunar angle of each lune?
– What is the area of each lune?
– Take the union of p of these lunes. • What is the lunar angle of the union?
• What is the area of the union?
– What is the relationship between the lunar angle and the area?

Spherical Triangles
J. Edmonds Tulsa Math Teachers’ Circle 13
• Assume the model is a sphere of radius 1 ft.
– Choose a particular great circle (Equator) and
mark off an arc AB of length 𝝅
𝟐.
– At each endpoint construct a perpendicular (geodesic) segment and extend the two segments until they meet.
• Why must they meet? Where will they meet? Call this point C. – What is the sum of the angles of ∆ABC?
– Is ∆ABC equilateral?

Spherical Triangles
• Continuing with the model of the sphere …
– At point C, form an angle of 𝝅
𝟑 rads (60°) with AC as
one side.
– Extend the other side until it meets AB. Call that point D. • What is the sum of the angles of ∆ADC?
• What is the distance from A to D?
• What is the distance from C to D?
– Let M be the midpoint of AB. Can you construct a triangle with base AM that is similar to ∆ABC? Can you construct any other triangle that is similar but not congruent to ∆ABC?

Questions
• Are there parallel great circles?
• Can you find a formula that relates the area of a spherical triangle to the sum of its angles?
