Math Problem Statement
( a ) Show that in neutral geometry, if two lines cut by a transversal line have a pair of congruent alternate interior angles, then they are parallel. ( b ) Explain why spherical geometry is not a neutral geometry. Hint: For the first part, suppose the assertion is false for some pair of lines. Find a triangle that violates the conclusion of the previous problem. For the second, draw a picture.
