It's one of those things where it's technically correct but the headline is misleading. When you say "a triangle" without any qualification as the headline does, people are going to interpret that as a good old fashioned triangle. Using the term without clarification that you mean spherical geometry is kind of underhanded writing, imo.

It's a mild form of clickbait.
