  2. Hyperbolic geometry - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hyperbolic_geometry

    A triangle immersed in a saddle-shape plane (a hyperbolic paraboloid), along with two diverging ultra-parallel lines. In mathematics, hyperbolic geometry (also called Lobachevskian geometry or Bolyai–Lobachevskian geometry) is a non-Euclidean geometry.

  3. Hyperbolic triangle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hyperbolic_triangle

    In hyperbolic geometry, a hyperbolic triangle is a triangle in the hyperbolic plane. It consists of three line segments called sides or edges and three points called angles or vertices . Just as in the Euclidean case, three points of a hyperbolic space of an arbitrary dimension always lie on the same plane.

  4. Ruled surface - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ruled_surface

    The hyperbolic paraboloid and the hyperboloid of one sheet are doubly ruled surfaces. The plane is the only surface which contains at least three distinct lines through each of its points ( Fuchs & Tabachnikov 2007 ).

  5. Paraboloid - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paraboloid

    A hyperbolic paraboloid with lines contained in it Pringles fried snacks are in the shape of a hyperbolic paraboloid. The hyperbolic paraboloid is a doubly ruled surface: it contains two families of mutually skew lines. The lines in each family are parallel to a common plane, but not to each other. Hence the hyperbolic paraboloid is a conoid.

  6. Paraboloidal coordinates - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paraboloidal_coordinates

    The coordinate surfaces of the former are parabolic cylinders, and the coordinate surfaces of the latter are circular paraboloids. Differently from cylindrical and rotational parabolic coordinates, but similarly to the related ellipsoidal coordinates , the coordinate surfaces of the paraboloidal coordinate system are not produced by rotating or ...

  7. Hyperboloid - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hyperboloid

    In geometry, a hyperboloid of revolution, sometimes called a circular hyperboloid, is the surface generated by rotating a hyperbola around one of its principal axes.A hyperboloid is the surface obtained from a hyperboloid of revolution by deforming it by means of directional scalings, or more generally, of an affine transformation.

  8. Constructions in hyperbolic geometry - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Constructions_in...

    Hyperbolic geometry is a non-Euclidean geometry where the first four axioms of Euclidean geometry are kept but the fifth axiom, the parallel postulate, is changed.The fifth axiom of hyperbolic geometry says that given a line L and a point P not on that line, there are at least two lines passing through P that are parallel to L.

  9. Ideal triangle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ideal_triangle

    The interior angles of an ideal triangle are all zero. An ideal triangle has infinite perimeter. An ideal triangle is the largest possible triangle in hyperbolic geometry. In the standard hyperbolic plane (a surface where the constant Gaussian curvature is −1) we also have the following properties: Any ideal triangle has area π. [1]
