उत्तर
Yes, we need to understand terms like point, line, ray, angle, plane, circle, and quadrilateral before defining the required terms.
The distance from the centre to a point on the circle is called the radius of the circle. In the figure, p is the centre, Q is a point on the circle, and PQ is the radius.

Consider two ‘postulates’ given below:-
- Given any two distinct points A and B, there exists a third point C which is in between A and B.
- There exist at least three points that are not on the same line.
Do these postulates contain any undefined terms? Are these postulates consistent? Do they follow from Euclid’s postulates? Explain.

Solve the following question using appropriate Euclid’s axiom:
In the following figure, we have ∠1 = ∠3 and ∠2 = ∠4. Show that ∠A = ∠C.
Read the following statements which are taken as axioms:
- If a transversal intersects two parallel lines, then corresponding angles are not necessarily equal.
- If a transversal intersect two parallel lines, then alternate interior angles are equal.
Is this system of axioms consistent? Justify your answer.
