Compared to Euclidean geometry, hyperbolic geometry presents many difficulties for a coordinate system: the angle sum of a quadrilateral is always less than 360°; there are no equidistant lines, so a proper rectangle would need to be enclosed by two lines and two hypercycles; parallel-transporting a line segment around a quadrilateral causes ...
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.

This tiling represents a hyperbolic kaleidoscope of 7 mirrors meeting as edges of a regular heptagon. This symmetry by orbifold notation is called *2222222 with 7 order-2 mirror intersections. In Coxeter notation can be represented as [1 + ,7,1 + ,4], removing two of three mirrors (passing through the heptagon center) in the [7,4] symmetry.
This tiling represents a hyperbolic kaleidoscope of 5 mirrors meeting as edges of a regular pentagon. This symmetry by orbifold notation is called *22222 with 5 order-2 mirror intersections. In Coxeter notation can be represented as [5 * ,4], removing two of three mirrors (passing through the pentagon center) in the [5,4] symmetry.

In the Beltrami-Klein model of the hyperbolic geometry: two ultraparallel lines correspond to two non-intersecting chords. The poles of these two lines are the respective intersections of the tangent lines to the boundary circle at the endpoints of the chords. Lines perpendicular to line l are modeled by chords whose extension passes through ...
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.
Many hyperbolic lines through point P not intersecting line a in the Beltrami Klein model A hyperbolic triheptagonal tiling in a Beltrami–Klein model projection. In geometry, the Beltrami–Klein model, also called the projective model, Klein disk model, and the Cayley–Klein model, is a model of hyperbolic geometry in which points are represented by the points in the interior of the unit ...
