In this article, the author presents two models of Euclidean geometry in the hyperbolic plane. Of particular note is a bounded disk model of the Euclidean plane in the hyperbolic plane. The motivation for this work is the classical Poincaré disk model, which is the reverse: a bounded disk model of the hyperbolic plane in the Euclidean plane. Moreover, the hyperbolic isometries of the Poincaré disk are described in simple Euclidean terms, as inversions in a circle. To play a role analogous to Euclidean inversion, the author defines a hyperbolic involution corresponding to an equidistant curve and a point of its base line that keeps a certain subset of the equidistant curves invariant. The article concludes by demonstrating that the constructed model and the Euclidean plane are connected in a manner similar to that between the Poincaré and Beltrami-Cayley-Klein models of hyperbolic geometry.
