Solve each of the following questions using appropriate Euclid’s axiom: In the Fig. 5.8, we have 1 =
3 and
2 =
4. Show that
A =
C.
To prove:
A =
C
Here given that 1 =
3,
2 =
4
According to Euclid’s axiom, if equals are added to equals then wholes are also equal.
So here if we add 1,
2 then it is equal to the sum of
3,
4.
1 +
2 =
3 +
4
(
1 +
2 =
A ;
3 +
4 =
C)
A =
C
Hence proved
