3) Let us build a geometry, S, using the three axioms of incidence geometry with one additional axiom added: Incidence Axiom l: For every point P and every point Q (P and Q not equal), there exists a unique line, I, incident with P and Q. Incidence Axiom 2: For every line / there exist at least two distinct points incident with Incidence Axiom3: There exist (at least) three distinct points with the property that no line is incident with...

Part II. (4 pts) Given the axiom set for the Incidence Geometry as below: Undefined terms: point, line, on Definitions: 1. Two lines are intersecting if there is a point on both. 2. Two lines are parallel if they have no point in common. Axioms: I. Given any two distinct points, there is a unique line on both. II. Each line has at least two distinct points on it. III. There exist at least three points. IV. Not all points...
2) (i) State the converse of the Alternate Interior Angle Theorem in Neutral Geometry. (ii) Prove that if the converse of the Alternate Interior Angle Theorem is true, then all triangles have zero defect. [Hint: For an arbitrary triangle, ABC, draw a line through C parallel to side AB. Justify why you can do this.] 5) Consider the following statements: I: If two triangles are congruent, then they have equal defect. II: If two triangles are similar, then they have...
Show that every model of incidence geometry which consists of precisely 3 points is isomorphic to the 3-point plane. (8 points)
8. True or false (in absolute geometry unless otherwise stated.) (a) If A and D are points on opposite sides of BC and LABC BCD, then AB II CD (b) If two lines are parallel, then they are equidistant from each other. (c) If oABCD is a quadrilateral with right angles at A, B, and C, then LD is also a right angle. (d) Euclid's Parallel Postulate is equivalent to the following statement: Every point in the interior of an...
3. Determine which of the following are models of Incidence Geometry. For those th are models, indicate which parallel property holds for the model. For those that a not a model, list at least one axiom that fails and illustrate why. a. Points are points in the Euclidean plane and lines are circles with positive radius. b. Points are in {(x, y) = R2 22 + y2 <9} and lines are open chords of the circle. c. Points are points...
3. Consider a geometry with five points a, b, c, d, and e. Let the lines consist of sets of two points. There are ten lines in this geometry. Show that, for every point P not on a line 1, there are at least two lines parallel to l.

Axiom 1: There exist at least one point and at least one line Axiom 2: Given any two distinct points, there is exactly one line incident with both points Axiom 3: Not all points are on the same line. Axiom 4: Given a line and a point not on/ there exists exactly one linem containing Pouch that / is parallel tom Theorem 1: If two distinct lines are not parallet,...
