What are the two kinds of geometry?
euclidean Geometry where the parallel line postulate exists. and the is also eliptic geometry where the parallel line postulate does not exist.
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.
What is equiform geometry?
The geometry of similarity in the Euclidean plane or Euclidean space.
How many right angles dose a kite have?
If you mean a toy kite, it could have any number. If you mean the geometrical figure, in Euclidean geometry it could have zero, one, or two. It can't have four because then it would be a square rather than a kite, and it can't have three because that can be proven to be impossible in Euclidean geometry(if it has three, it must of necessity have four thanks to the parallel postulate).In non-Euclidean geometry (which denies the parallel postulate), a kite with three right angles is possible and is called a Lambert quadrilateral.
