Yes, you can compare two distances in geometry. Here are some ways to do it: http://www.regentsprep.org/regents/math/geometry/gcg3/ldistance.htm

What do you call a triangle with two obtuse sides?

In normal geometry, it's not possible to make a triangle with two obtuse angles. It is possible to make a triangle with two obtuse angles in spherical geometry -- it's a kind of "spherical triangle". It is possible to make a triangle with two obtuse angles in some kinds of non-Euclidean geometry -- it's a kind of "non-Euclidean triangle".


What are the names of Non-Euclidean Geometries?

Answer The two commonly mentioned non-Euclidean geometries are hyperbolic geometry and elliptic geometry. If one takes "non-Euclidean geometry" to mean a geometry satisfying all of Euclid's postulates but the parallel postulate, these are the two possible geometries.


Is it possible to compare database tables using SQL?

Yes it is possible to compare two different databases. All you have to do is implement the right script which will compare the information and the structure of the databases.


What are the characteristics of spherical geometry?

Spherical geometry is characterized by the study of figures on the surface of a sphere, where the usual rules of Euclidean geometry do not apply. In this geometry, the shortest distance between two points is an arc of a great circle, and the sum of the angles in a triangle exceeds 180 degrees. Additionally, parallel lines do not exist, as any two great circles will intersect at two points. Distances and angles are measured differently than in flat geometry, leading to unique properties and relationships.


Does an isosceles triangle have two obtuse angles?

No. It is not possible in Euclidean planar geometry (if you don't know what that means, it means "the only kind of geometry you've ever heard of") for a triangle to have two obtuse angles.


Is a pint more than a meter?

Pints measure volume, and meters measure lengths/distances. Can't compare the two


Can two line segments be both intersecting and parallel?

Not in Euclidean geometry, but in other geometries such lines are possible.


Can parallel rays form angle?

Yes it can. Actually in non-euclidian geometry its possible that two parallel lines may form a angle, but it can never be possible in convention euclidian geometry (in which some of angles of a triangle is always 180 degrees, etc., such things are not sure in non-euclidian geometry).


It is possible to have two coplanar lines without them touching?

In Euclidean geometry, if and only if they are parallel.


What are the Top two types of geometry?

How many locations of an epicenter can be determined from two epicentral distances?

Oh, dude, like, you can totally determine two possible locations for the epicenter from two epicentral distances. It's like a math puzzle, but with earthquakes. So, yeah, if you have two distances, you basically have two circles intersecting, and where they meet is where the epicenter could be. It's not rocket science... well, actually, it kind of is, but you know what I mean.


Two parallel lines have equal slope?

Yes. You can use this to prove that two lines are parallel, in analytic geometry, i.e., geometry that uses coordinates.Yes.
