Question

Write down any three postulates of euclid

Answer 1

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.

Answer 2

Concept

An axiom is a statement that is assumed to be true without being proven. Lemmas and theorems are generated from postulates, which are the fundamental building blocks of logic. Euclidean geometry, for example, is founded on a set of five postulates known as Euclid's postulates.

Given

Euclid theorem

Find

We are asked to write down any three postulates of euclid

Solution

1. From any point to any other point, a straight line can be drawn.  

2. It is possible to make a terminated line forever.

3.A circle can have any radius and any centre.

Hence we have written three postulates of euclid.
