# Er, the arc you get from two points on a sphere is the same wherever on the sphere it is, yeah? As long as the points are the same distance apart.
So just take a normal equilateral triangle, bend all the lines into the same arc. The lines are still exactly the same length away from each other on the spherical plane as they were on flat plane.

# Or find a ball and put some dots on it.
And measure with some thread.

# Imagine an equilateral triangle...
...wedged very tightly inside a globe (so that all the points touch the equator).

Now the distance between all three points around the outside of the globe is equal (it's a third of the equator each).

Is that the sort of thing you meant?
