प्रश्न
How many least number of distinct points determine a unique line?
Advertisements
उत्तर
If we have a single point A then we can draw infinite number of lines through it, while if we have two points A and B; then only one unique line passes through both of them.
When we have one point,
When we have two points,
Therefore, a minimum of two distinct points are required to determine a unique line.

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.

Attempts to prove Euclid’s fifth postulate using the other postulates and axioms led to the discovery of several other geometries.
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.
Read the following axioms:
- Things which are equal to the same thing are equal to one another.
- If equals are added to equals, the wholes are equal.
- Things which are double of the same thing are equal to one another.
Check whether the given system of axioms is consistent or inconsistent.
