ANGLE OF PARALLELISM
DEFINITION
Given a point C not on the line AB, the
first line through C in either direction that
does not meet AB is called a Parallel line.
Other lines through C which do not meet
AB are called non-intersecting lines.
The two parallel lines through C are
called the right-hand parallel and left-
hand parallel.
The angle determined by the line from C
perpendicular to AB and either the right or Figure 1
left hand are called angle of parallelism.
Theorem 9.2
The two angles of parallelism
for the same distance are
congruent and acute.
The angles of parallelism
cannot be obtuse (see
figure 5) since then the
perpendicular drawn to
CF at C would be a non-
intersecting line below
the parallel C.
Since the angle of parallelism
cannot be right angle or an
obtuse angle, it must be an
acute angle.
OMEGA TRIANGLE

DEFINITION
A
In hyperbolic geometry, two parallel lines are said to
meet in an ideal point. On the other way, the lines are
Ω´ Ω parallel in the technical sense used for the ordinary
hyperbolic plane.
B C
OMEGA TRIANGLE – (sometimes called Asymptotic
B triangles) a three sided figure with one ideal vertex.
Right and left-hand parallels shown through point A to
Ω line BC meet that line in ideal points Ω(omega) and Ω´.
An omega triangle is not a triangle in the ordinary
A sense but does have the same properties as a triangle
Figure 7
with 3 vertices.
Theorem 9.3
The Axiom of Pasch holds for an omega
triangle, whether the line enters at a
vertex or at point not a vertex.
Theorem 9.4
For any omega triangle ABΩ, the
measures of the exterior angles formed
by extending AB are greater than the
measures of their opposite interior angles.
Theorem 9.5
Omega triangles ABΩ and A´B´Ω´ are
congruent if the sides of finite length are
congruent and if a pair of corresponding
angles at A and A´or B and B´are congruent.
