What are lines called in spherical geometry?
great circles
Can a line segment be extended indefinitely in spherical geometry?
that would be a line and lines do not exist in spherical geometry
How many right angles are formed by perpendicular lines in spherical geometry?
8
How many times can two great lines intersect is spherical geometry?
Two.
What is a monogon?
A monogon (more commonly called the Henagon) is a one-sided polygon. In Euclidean Geometry, (on a flat plane) it is considered a impossible because lines continue on forever. In Spherical Geometry, [on a spherical (circular) plane] a finite monogon can be drawn by placing a placing a single vertex on a circle because circles are basically a polygon with infinite sides.
What are lines called in spherical geometry?
great circles
In spherical geometry lines are called .?
great circles
What are lunes in spherical geometry?
Lines in spherical geometry are very easy to understand. Lines in spherical geometry are straight looking items that can be found by graphing points in a certain pattern.
In spherical geometry lines are?
great
Can a line segment be extended indefinitely in spherical geometry?
that would be a line and lines do not exist in spherical geometry
In spherical geometry what do they call lines?
Arcs or curves.
Are the rules of parallel and perpendicular lines different in spherical geometry than in Euclidean geometry?
yes
How many right angles are formed by perpendicular lines in spherical geometry?
8
How many times can two great lines intersect is spherical geometry?
Two.
Do parallel lines run from the north to south pole?
In plane geometry, the geometry of a flat surface, parallel lines by definition never meet. However in spherical geometry, the geometry of the surface of a sphere (such as the planet Earth) parallel lines meet at the poles.
What are the different lines in geometry called?
segments, lines, and rays.
