Abstract
Before continuing with our results on isometries that apply to the absolute plane and, hence, to the Euclidean plane as well as the Bolyai Lobachevsky plane, we have a definition and a theorem that are relevant only to the hyperbolic plane. These complement the absolute theorem that two circles are congruent if they have the same radius (distance).
