Q. 17 ‘A square is a polygon made up of four line segments out of which, length of three line
segments are equal to the length of fourth one and all its angles are right angles.’ Using
Euclid’s axioms/postulates, justify that all angles and sides are equal.
Q. 18 Write Euclid’s fifth postulate. Does it imply the existence of parallel lines? Explain.
Q. 19 Three light house towers are located at points A, B
and C on the section of a national forest to protect
animals from hunters by the forest department as
shown in the figure. What value is department
depicting by making light house towers? How many
straight lines can be drawn from A to C? State the
Euclid’s axiom which states the required result. Give one more postulate.
Q. 20 Solve using appropriate Euclid’s axiom: Two salesmen make equal sales during the
month of August. In September, each of them doubles his sale of the month of August.
Compare their sales in September.
