Protractor on the dial from 180°, as the dial is graduated from opposite zero marks to 90° each way. Since the spaces, both on the main scale and the Vernier scale, are numbered both to the right and to the left from zero, any angle can be measured. The readings can be taken either to the right or to the left, according to the direction in which the zero on the main scale is moved. Reading the Vernier scale: The bevel protractor Vernier scale may have graduations of 5′ (minutes) or 1/12°. Each space on the Vernier scale is 5′ less
Foundations of geometry or "parallel" lines (when this last term is used, these are the only parallel lines). All other lines through "P" which do not meet formula_8 are called "non-intersecting" or "ultraparallel" lines. Since hyperbolic geometry and Euclidean geometry are both built on the axioms of absolute geometry, they share many properties and propositions. However, the consequences of replacing the parallel postulate of Euclidean geometry with the characteristic postulate of hyperbolic geometry can be dramatic. To mention a few of these: Advocates of the position that Euclidean geometry is the one and only "true" geometry received a setback when, in a memoir
