Abstract
Let be a Riemann surface of analytic finite type or the unit disk in the complex plane. Let denote the Teichm\"uller equivalence classes of Beltrami differentials . We apply the Fundamental Inequalities to obtain a binary infinitesimal form of Teichm\"uller metric. Using this form, we define "\emph{angle}" between two geodesics originating from a point and conjecture that the sum of the angles of a triangle in should be less than if is of analytic finite type. As a consequence, the well-known necessary condition for two geodesics coinciding is derived immediately.
