Abstract
In Chap. 1, we found out that there exist different geometries in a plane. It depends on the axioms one chooses if Euclidean Geometry or Non-Euclidean Geometry are described. But how these geometries look like? In this chapter we present an algebraic model for Euclidean Geometry discussing some important theorems. We obtain a visual representation for the Euclidean Geometry of the plane.
