Euclid 's fourth axiom states that, ' Things which coincide with one another are equal to one another '.
Euclid’s fourth axiom is sometimes used in geometrical proofs. Let us consider a point Q that lies between points P and R of a line segment PR as shown in the figure.
From this figure, we can notice that (PQ + QR) coincides with the line segment PR. Thus, by using Euclid’s fourth axiom, which states that “things which coincide with one another are equal to one another”, we can write, PQ + QR = PR.
