Solve the following question using appropriate Euclid’s axiom:
In the following figure, we have BX = `1/2` AB, BY = `1/2` BC and AB = BC. Show that BX = BY.
उत्तर
Given, BX = `1/2` AB
⇒ 2BX = AB ...(i)
BY = `1/2` BC
⇒ 2BY = BC ...(ii)
And AB = BC ...(iii)
On putting the values from equations (i) and (ii) in equation (iii), we get
2BX = 2BY
According to Euclid’s axiom, things which are double of the same things are equal to one another.
BX = BY

Consider two ‘postulates’ given below:-
- Given any two distinct points A and B, there exists a third point C which is in between A and B.
- There exist at least three points that are not on the same line.
Do these postulates contain any undefined terms? Are these postulates consistent? Do they follow from Euclid’s postulates? Explain.
