What is a characteristic of Euclidean geometry?
One main characteristic of non-Euclidean geometry is hyperbolic geometry. The other is elliptic geometry. Non-Euclidean geometry is still closely related to Euclidean geometry.
What is Euclidean geometry mean in math?
Euclidean geometry is the traditional geometry: it is the geometry of a plane surface, as developed by Euclid. Among other things, it is based on Euclid's parallel postulate which said (in effect) that given a line and a point outside that line there could only be one line through that point that was parallel to the given line. It has since been discovered that both alternatives to that postulate - that there are many such lines possible and that there are none - give rise to consistent geometries. These are non-Euclidean geometries.
What is equiform geometry?
The geometry of similarity in the Euclidean plane or Euclidean space.
What are the names of Non Euclidean Geometries?
There are two non-Euclidean geometries: hyperbolic geometry and ellptic geometry.
Both Euclidean and non-Euclidean geometry have been accepted as valid types of geometry?
true
Non-Euclidean geometry was discovered when in seeking cleaner alternatives to the fifth postulate it was found that the negation could also be true?
true
Who discovered the circle?
Euclid discovered the circle and he named his geometry "Euclidean geometry "
Does a line go on forever in both directions?
In Euclidean geometry, yes.In Euclidean geometry, yes.In Euclidean geometry, yes.In Euclidean geometry, yes.
What mathematicians helped to discover alternatives to euclidean geometry in the nineteenth century?
Nikolai Lobachevsky and Bernhard Riemann

What are the similarities in non euclidean and euclidean geometry?
both the geometry are not related to the modern geometry
What is equiform geometry?
The geometry of similarity in the Euclidean plane or Euclidean space.

What is the difference between Euclidean Geometry and non-Euclidean Geometry?
In Euclidean geometry parallel lines are always the same distance apart. In non-Euclidean geometry parallel lines are not what we think of a parallel. They curve away from or toward each other. Said another way, in Euclidean geometry parallel lines can never cross. In non-Euclidean geometry they can.
