(c) Fix a circle in the Euclidean plane. Interpret "point" to mean a Euclidean point inside the circle, interpret "line" to mean a chord of the circle, and let "incidence" mean that the point lies on the chord. (A chord of a circle is a segment whose end- points lie on the circle.) (d) Fix a sphere in Euclidean three-space. Two points on the sphere are called antipodal if they lie on a diameter of the sphere; e.g., the north and south poles are antipodal. Interpret a "point" to be a set {P, P'} consisting of two points on the sphere that are antipodal. Interpret a "line" to be a great circle on the sphere.

I need a helping hand getting started on 2.9 & 2.11 (re: Euclidean and Non-Euclidean Geometry - Marvin J. Greenberg)

 

 

(c) Fix a circle in the Euclidean plane. Interpret "point" to mean
a Euclidean point inside the circle, interpret "line" to mean a
chord of the circle, and let "incidence" mean that the point lies
on the chord. (A chord of a circle is a segment whose end-
points lie on the circle.)
(d) Fix a sphere in Euclidean three-space. Two points on the sphere
are called antipodal if they lie on a diameter of the sphere; e.g.,
the north and south poles are antipodal. Interpret a "point" to
be a set {P, P'} consisting of two points on the sphere that are
antipodal. Interpret a "line" to be a great circle on the sphere.

9. In each of the following interpretations of the undefined terms,
which of the axioms of incidence geometry are satisfied and which
are not? Tell whether each interpretation has the elliptic, Euclidean,
or hyperbolic parallel property.
(a) "Points" are lines in Euclidean three-dimensional space, "lines"
are planes in Euclidean three-space, "incidence" is the usual
relation of a line lying in a plane.
(b) Same as in part (a), except that we restrict ourselves to lines
and planes that pass through a fixed point O.
