Question
Solve the following question using appropriate Euclid’s axiom:
Look at the figure. Show that length AH > sum of lengths of AB + BC + CD.
Solution
Given in the question, AB, BC and CD are parts of line.
Then, AB + BC + CD = AD ...(i)
And AD is the part of line AH.
Now, By Euclid’s axiom 5, the whole is greater than the part.
So, AH > AD
That is length AH > sum of length of AB + BC + CD ...[By using (i)]
