Abstract
A cyclic antipodal points of a circle is a pair of
points that are the intersection of the circle with a diameter
of the circle. A recent proof of Ptolemy’s Theorem, simultaneously
in both (i) Euclidean geometry; and (ii) the relativistic
model of hyperbolic geometry (which is identified with the
Klein model of hyperbolic geometry), motivates in this article
the study of four cyclic antipodal points of a circle, ordered
arbitrarily counterclockwise. The translation of results from
Euclidean geometry into hyperbolic geometry is obtained by
means of hyperbolic trigonometry, called gyrotrigonometry,
to which Einstein addition gives rise. Formulas that extend
the Pythagorean formula in both Euclidean and hyperbolic
geometry are obtained as byproducts
