Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
(i) Parallel line - Two lines are said to be parallel when (a) They never meet or never intersect each other even if they are extended to the infinity. (b) they coplanar.
(ii) Perpendicular lines - Two lines AB and CD lying the same plane are said to be perpendicular, if they form a right angle. We write AB⊥CD
(iii) Line segment - A line-segment is a part of line. When two distinct points, say A and B on a line are given, then the part of this line with end-points A and B is called the line-segment.
(iv) Radius of a circle - The distance from the centre to a point on the circle is called the radius of the circle. In the following figure OP is the radius.
(v) Square - A quadrilateral in which all the four angles are right angles and four sides are equal is called a square. ABCD is a square.

q1
Solution:
Yes, there are other terms which need to be defined first, they are:
Plane: Flat surfaces in which geometric figures can be drawn are known are plane. A plane surface is a surface which lies evenly with the straight lines on itself.
Point: A dimensionless dot which is drawn on a plane surface is known as point. A point is that which has no part.
Line: A collection of points that has only length and no breadth is known as a line. And it can be extended on both directions. A line is breadth-less length.
(i) Parallel lines – Parallel lines are those lines which never intersect each other and are always at a constant distance perpendicular to each other. Parallel lines can be two or more lines.
(ii) Perpendicular lines – Perpendicular lines are those lines which intersect each other in a plane at right angles then the lines are said to be perpendicular to each other.
(iii) Line Segment – When a line cannot be extended any further because of its two end points then the line is known as a line segment. A line segment has 2 end points.
(iv) Radius of circle – A radius of a circle is the line from any point on the circumference of the circle to the center of the circle.
(v) Square – A quadrilateral in which all the four sides are said to be equal and each of its internal angle is right angles is called square.

q2
It is given, AC = BD
From the given figure, we get,
AC = AB+BC
BD = BC+CD
⇒ AB+BC = BC+CD [AC = BD, given]
We know that, according to Euclid’s axiom, when equals are subtracted from equals, remainders are also equal.
Subtracting BC from the L.H.S and R.H.S of the equation AB+BC = BC+CD, we get,
AB+BC-BC = BC+CD-BC
AB = CD
Hence Proved.
