Solve each of the following question using appropriate Euclid’s axiom: Look at the Fig. 5.3. Show that length AH > sum of lengths of AB + BC + CD.
To prove: AH > Sum of lengths of AB + BC + CD
Euclid's axiom says that the whole is greater than the part.
Here the given figure is
AB + BC + CD =
Here we notice that AB + BC + CD is a part of the whole line AH. According to Euclid's axiom whole is always greater than the part. Hence, AH > sum of lengths of AB + BC + CD.
