Solve each of the following questions using appropriate Euclid’s axiom: In Fig. 5.9, we have ABC =
ACB,
3 =
4. Show that
1 =
2.
Given that: ABC =
ACB,
3 =
4
To prove: 1 =
2
Euclid’s axiom says that if equals are subtracted from equals, then remainders are also equal.
So, as ABC =
ACB,
3=
4
We can write,
ABC -
4 =
ACB –
3
Now, (
ABC =
1 +
4 ;
ACB =
2 +
3)
1 =
2
Hence proved
