Homework 27 Answers #1 Hint: Use the defect theorem 4.8.2. #2 Hint: Note that the altitude splits the Saccheri quadrilateral into two Lambert quadrilaterals. Use the properties of Lambert quadrilaterals to complete the proof. #3 Hint: Same hint as #2. #4 Hint: Show that none of the properties hold for a Saccheri quadrilateral, which is a parallelogram. 1. Suppose that every triangle has the same defect c. Let ABC be a triangle, and suppose that point E is in the interior of BC. We know that δ(ABC) = δ(ABE) + δ(ECA). But the defect of each of these triangles is c, so c = c + c, which implies that c = 0. Because it is not possible to have a triangle with a defect of 0 in a hyperbolic geometry, then triangles in a hyperbolic geometry can't all have the same defect. 2. Let MN be the altitude of the Saccheri quadrilateral ABCD. Since the D N C altitude is perpendicular to both AB and CD, then ∠DAM, ∠AMN, and ∠MND are all right angles. Then it follows that AMND is a Lambert quadrilateral. But this implies that MN < AD. Through a similar proof, A B MN < BC. M 3. Let MN be the altitude of the Saccheri quadrilateral ABCD. Let ∠DAM, ∠AMN, and ∠MND are all right angles. Note that AMND and BMNC are Lambert quadrilaterals, so by #2 above, AM < DN and BM < CN. Also, since M is in the interior of AB and N is in the interior of CD, A * M * B and C * N * D. Then AB = AM + MB < DN + NC = CD. 4. Let ABCD be a Saccheri quadrilateral. 1. Suppose that the diagonal AC divides the quadrilateral so that ACD ≅ ACB (RAA). Then because ∠ABC is a right angle, so is the summit angle ∠ADC. But the summit angles must be acute in hyperbolic space, so this is a contradiction. A similar argument can be constructed to show that BD cannot divide the quadrilateral into two congruent triangles. 2. We know from #3 that AB < CD, so this pair of opposite sides is not congruent. 3. We know that the summit angles are acute and the base angles are right angles, so opposite angles are not congruent. D C 4. Suppose that the angles bisect each other at point E. Then DE = EB, AE = EC, and since ∠AEB and ∠CED are vertical angles, they are congruent. Then AEB ≅ E CED. But then AB = CD, a contradiction. A B .

Application of Nine Point Circle Theorem
Application of Nine Point Circle Theorem Submitted by S3 PLMGS(S) Students Bianca Diva Katrina Arifin Kezia Aprilia Sanjaya Paya Lebar Methodist Girls’ School (Secondary) A project presented to the Singapore Mathematical Project Festival 2019 Singapore Mathematic Project Festival 2019 Application of the Nine-Point Circle Abstract In mathematics geometry, a nine-point circle is a circle that can be constructed from any given triangle, which passes through nine significant concyclic points defined from the triangle. These nine points come from the midpoint of each side of the triangle, the foot of each altitude, and the midpoint of the line segment from each vertex of the triangle to the orthocentre, the point where the three altitudes intersect. In this project we carried out last year, we tried to construct nine-point circles from triangulated areas of an n-sided polygon (which we call the “Original Polygon) and create another polygon by connecting the centres of the nine-point circle (which we call the “Image Polygon”). From this, we were able to find the area ratio between the areas of the original polygon and the image polygon. Two equations were found after we collected area ratios from various n-sided regular and irregular polygons.

They would like to express their gratitude to the project supervisor, Ms Kok Lai Fong for her guidance in the course of preparing this project.

3. Adam Also Needs to Know the Altitude of the Smaller Triangle Within the Sign
Lesson 3: Special Right Triangles Standard: MCC9‐12.G.SRT.6 Understand that by similarity, side ratios in right triangles are properties of the angles in the triangle, leading to definitions of trigonometric ratios for acute angles. Essential Question: What are the relationships among the side lengths of a 30° - 60° - 90° triangle? How can I use these relationships to solve real-world problems? Discovering Special Triangles Learning Task (30-60-90 triangle) 1. Adam, a construction manager in a nearby town, needs to check the uniformity of Yield signs around the state and is checking the heights (altitudes) of the Yield signs in your locale. Adam knows that all yield signs have the shape of an equilateral triangle. Why is it sufficient for him to check just the heights (altitudes) of the signs to verify uniformity? 2. A Yield sign created in Adam’s plant is pictured above. It has the shape of an equilateral triangle with a side length of 2 feet. If you draw the altitude of the triangular sign, you split the Yield sign in half vertically. Use what you know about triangles to find the angle measures and the side lengths of the two smaller triangles formed by the altitude. a. What does an altitude of an equilateral triangle do to the triangle? b. What kinds of triangles are formed when you draw the altitude? c. What did the altitude so to the base of the triangle? d. What did the altitude do to the angle from which it was drawn? 3. Adam also needs to know the altitude of the smaller triangle within the sign.

Geometry: Neutral MATH 3120, Spring 2016 Many Theorems of Geometry Are True Regardless of Which Parallel Postulate Is Used
Geometry: Neutral MATH 3120, Spring 2016 Many theorems of geometry are true regardless of which parallel postulate is used. A neutral geom- etry is one in which no parallel postulate exists, and the theorems of a netural geometry are true for Euclidean and (most) non-Euclidean geomteries. Spherical geometry is a special case of Non-Euclidean geometries where the great circles on the sphere are lines. This leads to spherical trigonometry where triangles have angle measure sums greater than 180◦. While this is a non-Euclidean geometry, spherical geometry develops along a separate path where the axioms and theorems of neutral geometry do not typically apply. The axioms and theorems of netural geometry apply to Euclidean and hyperbolic geometries. The theorems below can be proven using the SMSG axioms 1 through 15. In the SMSG axiom list, Axiom 16 is the Euclidean parallel postulate. A neutral geometry assumes only the ﬁrst 15 axioms of the SMSG set. Notes on notation: The SMSG axioms refer to the length or measure of line segments and the measure of angles. Thus, we will use the notation AB to describe a line segment and AB to denote its length −−! −! or measure. We refer to the angle formed by AB and AC as \BAC (with vertex A) and denote its measure as m\BAC. 1 Lines and Angles Deﬁnitions: Congruence • Segments and Angles. Two segments (or angles) are congruent if and only if their measures are equal. • Polygons. Two polygons are congruent if and only if there exists a one-to-one correspondence between their vertices such that all their corresponding sides (line sgements) and all their corre- sponding angles are congruent.

Saccheri and Lambert Quadrilateral in Hyperbolic Geometry
MA 408, Computer Lab Three Saccheri and Lambert Quadrilaterals in Hyperbolic Geometry Name: Score: Instructions: For this lab you will be using the applet, NonEuclid, developed by Castel- lanos, Austin, Darnell, & Estrada. You can either download it from Vista (Go to Labs, click on NonEuclid), or from the following web address: http://www.cs.unm.edu/∼joel/NonEuclid/NonEuclid.html. (Click on Download NonEuclid.Jar). Work through this lab independently or in pairs. You will have the opportunity to finish anything you don't get done in lab at home. Please, write the solutions of homework problems on a separate sheets of paper and staple them to the lab. 1 Introduction In the previous lab you observed that it is impossible to construct a rectangle in the Poincaré disk model of hyperbolic geometry. In this lab you will study two types of quadrilaterals that exist in the hyperbolic geometry and have many properties of a rectangle. A Saccheri quadrilateral has two right angles adjacent to one of the sides, called the base. Two sides that are perpendicular to the base are of equal length. A Lambert quadrilateral is a quadrilateral with three right angles. In the Euclidean geometry a Saccheri or a Lambert quadrilateral has to be a rectangle, but the hyperbolic world is different ... 2 Saccheri Quadrilaterals Definition: A Saccheri quadrilateral is a quadrilateral ABCD such that \ABC and \DAB are right angles and AD ∼= BC. The segment AB is called the base of the Saccheri quadrilateral and the segment CD is called the summit. The two right angles are called the base angles of the Saccheri quadrilateral, and the angles \CDA and \BCD are called the summit angles of the Saccheri quadrilateral.

Tightening Curves on Surfaces Monotonically with Applications
Tightening Curves on Surfaces Monotonically with Applications † Hsien-Chih Chang∗ Arnaud de Mesmay March 3, 2020 Abstract We prove the first polynomial bound on the number of monotonic homotopy moves required to tighten a collection of closed curves on any compact orientable surface, where the number of crossings in the curve is not allowed to increase at any time during the process. The best known upper bound before was exponential, which can be obtained by combining the algorithm of de Graaf and Schrijver [J. Comb. Theory Ser. B, 1997] together with an exponential upper bound on the number of possible surface maps. To obtain the new upper bound we apply tools from hyperbolic geometry, as well as operations in graph drawing algorithms—the cluster and pipe expansions—to the study of curves on surfaces. As corollaries, we present two efficient algorithms for curves and graphs on surfaces. First, we provide a polynomial-time algorithm to convert any given multicurve on a surface into minimal position. Such an algorithm only existed for single closed curves, and it is known that previous techniques do not generalize to the multicurve case. Second, we provide a polynomial-time algorithm to reduce any k-terminal plane graph (and more generally, surface graph) using degree-1 reductions, series-parallel reductions, and ∆Y -transformations for arbitrary integer k. Previous algorithms only existed in the planar setting when k 4, and all of them rely on extensive case-by-case analysis based on different values of k. Our algorithm≤ makes use of the connection between electrical transformations and homotopy moves, and thus solves the problem in a unified fashion.

Saccheri Quadrilaterals Definition: Let Be Any Line Segment, and Erect Two
Saccheri Quadrilaterals Definition: Let be any line segment, and erect two perpendiculars at the endpoints A and B. Mark off points C and D on these perpendiculars so that C and D lie on the same side of the line , and BC = AD. Join C and D. The resulting quadrilateral is a Saccheri Quadrilateral. Side is called the base, and the legs, and side the summit. The angles at C and D are called the summit angles. Lemma: A Saccheri Quadrilateral is convex. ~ By construction, D and C are on the same side of the line , and by PSP, will be as well. If intersected at a point F, one of the triangles ªADF or ªBFC would have two angles of at least measure 90, a contradiction (one of the linear pair of angles at F must be obtuse or right). Finally, if and met at a point E then ªABE would be a triangle with two right angles. Thus and must lie entirely on one side of each other. So, GABCD is convex. Theorem: The summit angles of a Saccheri Quadrilateral are congruent. ~ The SASAS version of using SAS to prove the base angles of an isosceles triangle are congruent. GDABC GCBAD, by SASAS, so pD pC. Corollaries: • The diagonals of a Saccheri Quadrilateral are congruent. (Proof: ªABC ªBAD by SAS; CPCF gives AC = BD.) • The line joining the midpoints of the base and summit of a quadrilateral is the perpendicular bisector of both the base and summit. (Proof: Let N and M be the midpoints of summit and base, respectively.
