The prototypical example of hyperbolic geometry in two dimensions is Gauss-Lobachevsky-Bolyai geometry, in which the parallel postulate of Euclidean geometry is replaced by the postulate of there being at least 2 parallel lines through a given point to a given line, and the sum of interior angles for a triangle being smaller than $\pi$ radians.
