    1. The line segment joining the midpoint of the base and the midpoint of the summit divides the Saccheri quadrilateral into two Lambert quadrilaterals.

      Well clearly it creates two quadrilaterals who both have two right angles, and therefore a lambert quadrilateral

      Is that because the summit angles are acute? Or, one of them must be acute, since if they were both right, we would have a neutral geometry that contains Euclid's 5th (parallel postulate).
