Circumcircle of a hyperbolic triangle

The constructoin of a circumcircle does in principle work, but sometimes the the lines do not intersect thus the midpoint can not be found.

Hyperbolic regular pentagon

Two similar constructions of hyperbolic regular pentagons. Both constructions fail, as the diagonals can not be constructed by means of the golden ratio as it is done in the euclidean case.

Hyperbolic regular hexagon

The classical construction of an hyperbolic hexagon fails too. The well known formula U = 2*pi*r for circles has to be modified for hyperbolic circles to U = 2*pi*sinh(r).
