Solve the following question using appropriate Euclid’s axiom:
In the following figure, we have AC = DC, CB = CE. Show that AB = DE.

उत्तर
Given, AC = DC ...(i)
And C6 = CE ...(ii)
According to Euclid’s axiom, if equals are added to equals, then wholes are also equal.
So, on adding equation (i) and (ii), we get
AC + CB = DC + CE
⇒ AB = DE

Read the following statement :
An equilateral triangle is a polygon made up of three line segments out of which two line segments are equal to the third one and all its angles are 60° each.
Define the terms used in this definition which you feel necessary. Are there any undefined terms in this? Can you justify that all sides and all angles are equal in a equilateral triangle.
