Task:
A. Discuss differences between neutral geometry and Euclidean geometry.
B. Explain the importance of Euclid's parallel postulate and how this was important to the development of hyperbolic and spherical geometries.
Note: Euclid's parallel postulate states the following: "For every line l and for every external point P, there exists a unique line through P that is parallel to l."
C. The sum of the angles in a triangle varies according to the geometry in which the triangle lies.
1. Prove by example that the statement "There exists a triangle with a sum of angles greater than 180 degrees" is true in spherical geometry.
2. Prove that the statement "The sum of the angles in any triangle is 180 degrees" is true in Euclidean geometry.
Note: The attached "Parallel Postulate to Triangles Diagram" may prove useful in relating the parallel postulate to triangles. The only "given" in this diagram is triangle ABC (i.e., the creation of line NM is a required step in your proof).
3. Prove by contradiction (i.e., indirect proof) that the statement, "Rectangles do not exist," is true in hyperbolic geometry.
Note: You may use the hyperbolic triangle angle sum theorem as a given fact in this proof.
