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.
