Neutral Geometry: Which theorem, postulate, or definition describes each statement below? (This is a university-level advanced geometry proofing course that uses Gerard A Venema Foundations of Geometry 2nd Edition)
- This theorem is provable in neutral geometry, but its converse relies on the EPP. (more than one answer may be possible here)
- A statement equivalent to the EPP that allows for the existence of rectangles.
- Establishes that the angle sum of any triangle is no larger than 180 degrees.
- Establishes that the Elliptic Parallel Postulate is false in any model for neutral geometry.
- Tells us that in every triangle it is possible to drop a perpendicular from some vertex to the interior of the opposite side.
