Euclidean Geometry is based on the premise that through any point there is only one line that can be drawn parallel to another line. It is based on the geometry of the Plane.

There are basically two answers to your question:

(i) Through any point there are NO lines that can be drawn parallel to a given line (e.g. the geometry on the Earth's surface, where a line is defined as a great circle. (Elliptic Geometry)

(ii) Through any point, there is an INFINITE number of lines that can be drawn parallel of a given line. (I think this is referred to as Riemannian Geometry, but someone else needs to advise us on this)

Both of these are fascinating topics to study.

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 true that the sum of three angles of any triangle is 180 in non euclidean geometry?

No. Non-Euclidean geometries usually start with the axiom that Euclid's parallel postulate is not true. This postulate can be shown to be equivalent to the statement that the internal angles of a traingle sum to 180 degrees. Thus, non-Euclidean geometries are based on the proposition that is equivalent to saying that the angles do not add up to 180 degrees.

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 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.
