Abstract

Pappus' Involution Theorem is useful for proving incidence relations in the hyperbolic and elliptic planes. This fact is exemplified with the proof of a theorem about a family of 4-gons in the hyperbolic and elliptic planes. This non-Euclidean theorem is also re-interpreted in multiple ways, providing some other theorems for different figures in the hyperbolic plane.
