Explain the concept of a geodesic triangle in geometry.
A geodesic triangle is a region of a general two-dimensional surface enclosed by three sides which are straight relative to the surface.
What is the significance of choosing an arbitrary edge to be the base of a triangle?
What is the significance of choosing an arbitrary edge to be the base of a triangle?
Choosing an arbitrary edge as the base determines the opposite vertex as the apex of the triangle.
