1. Tabulate the differences of Euclidean, elliptic, and hyperbolic geometry

according to the aspects below. A table with three columns and 4 rows is
expected, or any other table to that effect. (12pts)
 Version of the Fifth Postulate
 Number of lines parallel to a given line, passing through a point
apart from the given line
 Sum of interior angles of a triangle on its surface
 Model of the geometry

  It is used to calculate distances between points on the earth's surface.

 Pilots and ship captains use this to navigate.

State other possible applications of hyperbolic geometry

 The theory of special relativity, especially minkowski spacetime and gyrovector

space, is a modern application of hyperbolic geometry.

 It is used in the study of dynamic networks in network science.
