Abstract. In this paper, by using the definition of oriented hyperbolic angle between two non-null vectors in the Lorentzian plane L2, we characterize the area of a triangle and obtain some Lorentzian trigonometric relations. In particular, we study the hyperbolic sine law and the hyperbolic cosine law holding in a triangle.
