Hyperbolic
angle
Given three ordered points, this tool will measure the hyperbolic angle
considering that the second given point is the vertice of the angle. To
measure the angle, it is necessary to consider the Euclidean tangent
line to the hyperbolic lines that forms the angle.
- Plot the hyperbolic line that
joins the two
first points.
- Plot the euclidean line, r,
tangent to the former
hyperbolic line going through the second point.
- Plot the hyperbolic line that joins the two last
points.
- Plot the euclidean line, s,
tangent to the former
hyperbolic line going through the second point.
To choose which of the four Euclidean angles is the Euclidean angle
that we
have to measure we can proceed in the same way as in the hyperbolic bisector (steps 5-10) where, in
fact, we determined a hyperbolic angle.
- Plot the perpendicular line to r that goes through the first
point.
- Consider the intersection of the former line
with r.
- Plot the Euclidean ray that starts in the second given point
and passes through the former intersection. This ray is one of those
that will form the Euclidean angle
and the intersection will be one of the ending points of the ray.
- Plot the perpendicular line to s that goes through the third
point.
- Consider the intersection of the former
line with s.
- Plot the Euclidean ray that starts in the second given point
and passes through the former intersection. This ray is the other that
will form the Euclidean
angle and the intersection will be one of the ending points of the ray.
- Calculate the Euclidean angle from the intersection point of
the step (6), the second given point and the intersection point
of the step (9).
When
we use this tool the construction keeps the same elements as
before and writes the value of the amplitude of the angle.
