Step 1

In Euclidean geometry, two triangle two pairs of sides of equal length and one pair of equal angle are said to be congruent by SAS law. 

Let T be the set of all triangles in Euclidean plane. The relation  congruence on T is an equivalence relation

Therefore, one equivalence class of triangles exists given some specific measures of SAS which is 

S=TiT:TiTj

In hyperbolic plane, SAS congruence is a natural postulate also. Therefore, in this plane also, two triangles with two pairs of sides of equal length and one pair of equal angle are congruent. 

Therefore, there is one equivalence class of triangles in hyperbolic geometry given some specific measures of SAS which is  S=TiTH:TiTj where TH is the set of all triangles in this plane.
