Abstract: In the present paper we study $SXR$ and $HXR$ geometries, which are homogeneous Thurston 3-geometries. We define and determine the generalized Apollonius surfaces and with them define the "surface of a geodesic triangle". Using the above Apollonius surfaces we develop a procedure to determine the centre and the radius of the circumscribed geodesic sphere of an arbitrary $SXR$ and $HXR$ tetrahedron. Moreover, we generalize the famous Menelaus' and Ceva's theorems for geodesic triangles in both spaces. In our work we will use the projective model of $SXR$ and $HXR$ geometries described by E. Moln'ar in cite{M97}.
