  1. Hyperbolic Geometry Axiom • Hyperbolic Axiom (HA): In hyperbolic geometry there exist a line l and point P not on l such that at least two distinct lines parallel to l pass through P. • Lemma 6.1: Rectangles do not exist.

  2. Hyperbolic Geometry UHT • Universal Hyperbolic Theorem (UHT): In hyperbolic geometry, for every line l and every point P not on l there pass through P at least two distinct parallels to l. • Cor: In hyperbolic geometry, for every line l and every point P not on l, there are infinitely many parallels to l through P.

  3. Hyperbolic Geometry Theorems 1- 3 • Thm 6.1: In hyperbolic geometry, all triangles have angle sum less than 180. • Cor: In hyperbolic geometry, all convex quadrilaterals have angle sum less than 360. • Thm 6.2: In hyperbolic geometry, if two triangles are similar, they are congruent. • Thm 6.3: In hyperbolic geometry, if l and l' are any distinct parallel lines, then any set of points on l equidistant from l' has at most two points in it.

  4. Hyperbolic Geometry Theorem 4 • Thm 6.4: In hyperbolic geometry, if l and l' are parallel lines for which there exists a pair of points A and B on l equidistant from l', then l and l' have a common perpendicular segment that is also the shortest segment between l and l' • L 2: The segment joining the midpoints of the base and summit of a Saccheri quadrilateral is perpendicular to both the base and the summit, and this segment is shorter than the sides.

  5. Hyperbolic Geometry Theorem 5 • Thm 6.5: In hyperbolic geometry, if lines l and l' have a common perpendicular segment MM' then they are parallel and MM' is unique. Moreover, if A and B are any points on l such that M is the midpoint of segment AB, then A and B are equidis-tant from l'.

  6. Hyperbolic Geometry Theorem 6 • Thm 6.6: For every line l and every point P not on l, let Q be the foot of the perpendicular from P to l. Then there are two unique nonopposite rays . and on opposite sides of that do not meet l and have the property that a ray emanating from P meets l if and only if it is between and . . Moreover these limiting rays are situated symmetrically about in the sense that XPQ X'PQ. (See following figure.)
