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}.

Menelaus' and Ceva's theorems for translation triangles in Thurston geometries
Menelaus' and Ceva's theorems are formulated and proved for translation triangles in Nil, Sol, and ~SL2R spaces using geometry-specific simple ratios.
