I'm looking for the name of a triangle... here's a description
This triangle has 2 equal sides and 1 side that is about 1 1/2 times the length of one of the equal sides. The 2 equal sides curve out slightly (like part of a Reuleaux triangle) while the longer side is perfectly straight. Any ideas? thanks.

6. Those particular two are spherical triangles, but other
shapes which fit your description wouldn't be.

7. Thanks dimbear. I realize I shouldn't have included the first spherical diagram.
I posted in a hurry. The triangle name I'm looking for is not spherical. The second diagram better represents it and the triangle there is formed from flat circles and a flat rectangle on a flat surface. Sorry for the stupid confusion.

8. I think I would name a triangle like that Edward.
But in casual situations I'd call him Ed.
