and QR are nonconsecutive sides.
noncoplanar
non-Euclidean geometry
Points or lines that do not lie in the same plane.
The study of geometrical systems that are not in accordance
with the Parallel Postulate of Euclidean geometry.
An infinite number of digits following either a repeating or a notrepeating pattern.
A symmetric bell-shaped graph of a normal distribution.
A frequency distribution that often occurs when there is a large
number of values in a set of data: about 68% of the values are
within one standard deviation of the mean, 95% of the values
are within two standard deviations of the mean, and 99% of the
values are within three standard deviations.
