Question 621338: name at least 3 geometric figures in non-Euclidean Geometry. In a single sentence, what is the basic difference between Euclidean and non-Euclidean geometry?

Answer by fcabanski(1391) (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Square, triangle, and sphere are three geometric figures in non-Euclidean Geometry.

The basic difference between Euclidean and Non-Euclidean geometry is: In Euclidean geometry any point (p) not on a line (l) has exactly one line through it that is parallel to l, while in Non-Euclidean geometry there are either infinite or no lines through p parallel to l.
