17. Answer: No; it is not a great circle.
Identify Lines in Spherical Geometry
SPORTS Determine whether the line h on the basketball shown is a line in spherical geometry. Explain.
Notice that line h does not go through the poles of the sphere. Therefore line h is not a great circle and so not a line in spherical geometry.
Answer: No; it is not a great circle.
Example 2

18. A. Yes, it is a line in spherical geometry.
SPORTS Determine whether the line X on the basketball shown is a line in spherical geometry.
A. Yes, it is a line in spherical geometry.
B. No, it is not a line in spherical geometry.
Example 2

19. If two lines are parallel, they never intersect.
Compare Plane Euclidean and Spherical Geometries
A. Tell whether the following postulate or property of plane Euclidean geometry has a corresponding statement in spherical geometry. If so, write the corresponding statement. If not, explain your reasoning.
If two lines are parallel, they never intersect.
Answer: True; given a line, the only line on a sphere that is always the same distance from the line is the line itself.
Example 3A

20. Any two distinct lines are parallel or intersect once.
Compare Plane Euclidean and Spherical Geometries
B. Tell whether the following postulate or property of plane Euclidean geometry has a corresponding statement in spherical geometry. If so, write the corresponding statement. If not, explain your reasoning.
Any two distinct lines are parallel or intersect once.
Answer: False; two distinct lines on a sphere intersect twice.
