Abstract
The hyperbolic trigonometry, fully analogous to the common Euclidean trigonometry, is presented and employed to calculate the hyperbolic triangle defect in the Poincaré ball model of $n$-dimensional hyperbolic geometry. It is shown that hyperbolic trigonometry allows the hyperbolic triangle defect to be expressed in terms of the triangle hyperbolic side lengths by a remarkably elegant identity.
