Explain and compare Euclidean and spherical geometries.
Answer to Problem 24HP
Euclidean geometry is based on working on a flat plane surface where as spherical geometry is based on working on a curved surface.
Explanation of Solution
Given:
It is given in the question that the explanation must contain the planes and lines in both geometries.
Since, Euclidean geometry is based on working on a flat plane surface where as spherical geometry is based on working on a curved surface. A line in Euclidean geometry extends indefinitely in two direction where in spherical geometry, a line is a
