    This document provides the answer to an exercise question defining key terms like polygon, line segment, angle, and ray. It then uses Euclid's fourth postulate stating all right angles are equal and first axiom that things equal to the same thing are equal to each other to prove that all three sides of an equilateral triangle are equal. Specifically, it states that since all angles of an equilateral triangle measure 60 degrees and right angles are equal, the three 60 degree angles are equal. It also notes that two of the line segments forming the triangle are given to be equal, so by Euclid's axiom, all three must be equal, making the triangle equilateral.

    Exercise 5.4
    NCERT Exemplar Solutions by Dev Anoop

    Answer 1
    The terms need to be defined are
    Polygon : A simple closed figure made up of three or more line segments.
    Line segment : Part of a line with two end points.
    Line : Undefined term
    Point : Undefined term
    Angle : A figure formed by two rays with a common initial point.
    Ray : Part of a line with one end point.
    Undefined terms used are : line, point.
    Euclids fourth postulate says that all right angles are equal to one another.
    This is applicable on angles 60 too.
    In an equilateral triangle, all angles measure 60, therefore, all angles are equal
    Two line segments are equal to third line segment (Given).
    Therefore, all the three sides of an equilateral triangle are equal. (by Euclids first
    axiom things which are equal to the same thing are equal to one another.)
