Euclidean vs Non-Euclidean Geometry What’s the difference?

Consider two straight lines indefinitely extended in a two-dimensional plane that are both perpendicular to a third line: In Euclidean geometry, these two lines must be //.

In Euclidean geometry the lines remain at a constant distance from each other even if extended to infinity, and are known as parallels. In hyperbolic geometry they "curve away" from each other, increasing in distance as one moves further from the points of intersection with the common perpendicular; these lines are often called ultraparallels. In elliptic geometry the lines "curve toward" each other and eventually intersect.

Non-euclidean geometry can be understood by picturing the drawing of geometric figures on curved surfaces, for example, the surface of a sphere or the inside surface of a bowl.  // lines 1 & only 1 // line No // lines

Elliptic vs Euclidean geometry:

Hyperbolic geometry No similar triangles exist.

Another major difference between the three geometries is the sum of the angles of a triangle. In Euclidean, the sum = 180º In Hyperbolic, the sum < 180º In Elliptical, the sum > 180º

In high school geometry, our main focus will be on Euclidean geometry. You will learn more about the other geometries in Pre-Cal and Calculus. BTW, there are many more aspects of geometry than the three listed here. See YouTube for some very interesting videos!
