Solve the following question using the appropriate Euclid's axiom:
Look at the figure. Show that the length $AH >$ the sum of the lengths of $AB + BC + CD$.
Look at the figure. Show that the length $AH >$ the sum of the lengths of $AB + BC + CD$.
(N/A) We observe that $AB, BC,$ and $CD$ are parts of the line segment $AD$.
Now,$AB + BC + CD = AD$ $......(1)$
By Euclid's axiom $5$,the whole is greater than the part. Since $AD$ is a part of the line segment $AH$,we have:
$AH > AD$
i.e.,Length $AH >$ sum of lengths of $AB + BC + CD$ [Using $(1)$].
Now,$AB + BC + CD = AD$ $......(1)$
By Euclid's axiom $5$,the whole is greater than the part. Since $AD$ is a part of the line segment $AH$,we have:
$AH > AD$

Read the following statement:
"$A$ square is a polygon made up of four line segments,out of which,length of three line segments are equal to the length of fourth one and all its angles are right angles".
Define the terms used in this definition which you feel necessary. Are there any undefined terms in this? Can you justify that all angles and sides of a square are equal?
