Answer:
5
Explaination:
Postulate – I
A straight line segment can be formed by joining any two points in space.
In Geometry, a line segment is a part of a line that is bounded by 2 distinct points on either end. It consists of a series of points bounded by the two endpoints. Thus a line segment is measurable as the distance between the two endpoints. A line segment is named after the two endpoints with an overbar on them.
Postulate – II
Any straight line can be extended indefinitely on both sides. Unlike a line segment, a line is not bounded by any endpoint and so can be extended indefinitely in either direction. A line is uniquely defined as passing through two points which are used to name it.
Postulate – III
A circle can be drawn with any centre and any radius. For any line segment, a circle can be drawn with its centre at one endpoint and the radius of the circle as the length of the line segment. Consider a line segment bounded by two points. If one of these points is taken as the centre of a circle and the radius of the circle is taken as equal to the length of the segment, a circle can be drawn with its diameter twice than the length of the line segment.
Postulate – IV
All right angles are congruent or equal to one another. A right angle is an angle measuring 90 degrees. So, irrespective of the length of a right angle or its orientation all right angles are identical in form and coincide exactly when placed one on top of the other.
A right angle
Postulate – V
Two lines are parallel to each other if they intersect the third line and the interior angle between them is 180 degrees.
‘Parallel lines’ are a set of 2 or more lines that never cross or intersect each other at any point in space if they are extended indefinitely. As you can see in the above image, line 1 and line 2 are parallel if and only if the sum of angles ‘a’ and ‘b’ they make with the transversal is 180 degrees.

Euclid's Postulates
1. A straight line segment can be drawn joining any two points.
2. Any straight line segment can be extended indefinitely in a straight line.
3. Given any straight line segment, a circle can be drawn having the segment as radius and one endpoint as center.
4. All right angles are congruent.
5. If two lines are drawn which intersect a third in such a way that the sum of the inner angles on one side is less than two right angles, then the two lines inevitably must intersect each other on that side if extended far enough. This postulate is equivalent to what is known as the parallel postulate.
Euclid's fifth postulate cannot be proven as a theorem, although this was attempted by many people. Euclid himself used only the first four postulates ("absolute geometry") for the first 28 propositions of the Elements, but was forced to invoke the parallel postulate on the 29th. In 1823, Janos Bolyai and Nicolai Lobachevsky independently realized that entirely self-consistent "non-Euclidean geometries" could be created in which the parallel postulate did not hold. (Gauss had also discovered but suppressed the existence of non-Euclidean geometries.)
