    Euclid defined geometric terms like point, line and plane and established axioms and postulates. He defined 23 items including points having no parts, lines having length but no width, and planes having length and width but no thickness. Euclid also established axioms like things equal to the same thing being equal to each other and postulates like being able to draw circles with any center and radius.

    Euclid Geometry

    Euclid Geometry

    • Euclid a Greek mathematician is called the Father of Geometry


    • Euclid defined around 23 items. 7 of them are mentioned below

    1) A point is that which has no part

    2) A line is breath less and has length only

    3) The end of a line is points

    4) A straight line is a line which lies evenly with the points on itself

    5) A surface is that which has length and breath only

    6) The edges of a surface are lines

    The definitions of line, point, plane explained by Euclid is not accepted by the Mathematician. So these
    terms are taken as undefined

    Axioms or Postulates

    Axioms or Postulates are assumptions which are obvious universal truths. They are not proved

    Theorems

    They are statements which are proved using axioms/postulates, definition, previously proved statement
    and deductive reasoning

    Euclid axioms

    1) Things which are equal to same things are equal to one another

    If x=z, y=z then x=y

    2) If equals are added to equals, the wholes are equal

    x=y => x+z=y+z

    3) If equals are subtracted from equals, the remainders are equal

    X=y => x-z=y-z

    4) Things which coincide with one another are equal to one another

    5) The whole is greater than the part

    6) Things which are double of the same things are equal to one another

    7) Things which are halves of the same things are equal to one another

    8) If first thing is greater than second and second is greater than third, then first is greater
    than third

    Euclid Postulates

    1) A straight line may be dawn from one point to another point

    2) A terminated line can be produced indefinitely

    3) A circle can be drawn with any center and any radius

    4) All right angles are equal to one another

    5) If a straight line falling on two straight lines makes the interior angles on the same side
    of it taken together less than two right angles, then the straight lines if produced
    indefinitely meet on that side on which the angles are less than the two right angles

    Play fair Axiom

    For every line l and for every point P not lying on the line l, there exists a unique line m passing through
    P and Parallel to l
