I need the height of the triangle, how would I get that? Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Answer: 
The maps you gave are the coordinate charts on $\mathbb{C}\mathbb{P}^1$ that makes it into a manifold. In particular, they are bijective. 

If we take $\phi\_0^{-1}(D)$, we get all point $[1:z]$, with $z\in D$. Similarly, $\phi\_0^{-1}(D)$ is all points of the form $[z:1]$. Together, these sets cover $\mathbb{C}\mathbb{P}^1$. The inverse maps are continuous, because the maps $\phi\_i$ are bijective, so $\phi\_0^{-1}(D)$ and $\phi\_1^{-1}(D)$ are compact, as the image of a compact set under a continuous map is compact. It's not hard to show that if a space is a union of two compact sets, it is compact, so we are done.
Yes.

In fact, the complex projective line "is" the [Riemann Sphere](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Projective_line#Complex_projective_line%3a_the_Riemann_sphere).
