Popis: Ptolemy’s theorem in Euclidean geometry, named after the Greek astronomer and mathematician Claudius Ptolemy, is well known. We translate Ptolemy’s theorem from analytic Euclidean geometry into the Poincaré ball model of analytic hyperbolic geometry, which is based on the Möbius addition and its associated symmetry gyrogroup. The translation of Ptolemy’s theorem from Euclidean geometry into hyperbolic geometry is achieved by means of hyperbolic trigonometry, called gyrotrigonometry, to which the Poincaré ball model gives rise, and by means of the duality of trigonometry and gyrotrigonometry.
