  1. §22.1 Back to the Foundations Remember there are three Cases: 1. There exists no line through P parallel to l. (Elliptic, spherical or Riemannian Geometry.) 2. There exists one line through P parallel to l. (Parabolic or Euclidean geometry.) 3. There exists more than one line through P parallel to l. (Hyperbolic or Lobachevskian geometry.)

  2. Our Direction of Study Let us then take up with absolute geometry without the Parallel Postulate of Euclid which will take us to the third case. 3. There exists more than one line through P parallel to l. (Hyperbolic or Lobachevskian geometry.)

  3. Hyperbolic Parallelism Definition. Two lines are parallel iff they meet only at infinity. Axiom: Hyperbolic Parallel Postulate. If l is any line and P any point not on l, there exist more than one line passing through P parallel to l. 3

  4. Hyperbolic Parallelism What are some ways in which to deny the possibility of two or more parallel lines? If you look around it seems that it would be easy to refute such and assumption. Try to make a drawing or find a real life example of two parallel lines. Perhaps use the equal distance between parallel lines as an argument. 4

  8. Defect Since the sum of the angles of a triangle is less than 180 we can define the defect of the triangle as that difference, or δ(ABC) = 180 - ∡A - ∡B - ∡ C The defect of a convex polygon P1 P2 . . . Pn is the number δ(P1 P2 . . . Pn) = 180(n -2) – P1 – P2 . . . - Pn 8

  9. Defect The defect of a triangle has the following properties: 1. Existence of area. 2. Relative size. 3. Additively. 4. Congruency 9

  10. Definition of Area The area of a convex polygon P1 P2 . . . Pn is defined by the number: K = k [180 (n – 2) – mP1 – mP2 . . . – mPn ] Where k is some predetermined constant for the entire plane (not depending on each given polygon). The value for k is frequently taken as π/180, which converts degree measure to radian measure. That is Area = k δ, where δ is the defect of the polygon. 10

  11. Definition of Area P 2 P 3 P 1 δ 2 δ 1 δ 3 P 4 δ 4 P 7 δ 5 P 5 P 6 That is the area is some constant k times the sum of the deficits of each of the triangles the polygon is broken down to by drawing all the diagonals from one vertex of from some interior point. Area = k [180 (7 – 2) – mP1 – mP2 . . . – mP7 ] Area = k [(180 – mP1) + (180 -– mP2) + (180– mP3) + (180 -– mP2) + (180 -– mP2) + (180 -– mP2) + (180 -– mP2) ] Area = k (δ 1 + δ2 + δ3 + δ4 + δ5) 11 11
