State the sine rule for spherical triangles.
Let be a spherical triangle with vertices , and , with angles and at the respective vertices. Let , and be the lengths of the edges and respectively. Show that if and only if . [You may use the cosine rule for spherical triangles.] Show that this holds if and only if there exists a reflection such that and .
Are there equilateral triangles on the sphere? Justify your answer.
