Introduction to Euclid’s Geometry

2. b.
3. a.
4. If Equals are added to equals then the wholes are equal.
5. x=10, If equals are subtracted from equals, then the remainders are equal.
6. From the figure, PR= PQ+QR
PR – QR = PQ + QR – QR
If equals are subtracted from equals, then the remainders are equal
Therefore, PR - QR = PQ.
7. Given AB = BC
BP = BQ
Then AB – BP = BC – BQ (If equals are subtracted from equals, then the remainders are
equal)
From the figure we get, PA = QC.
8. Given,
∠2 = ∠4 and ∠3 = ∠4.
From Euclid's axioms, we know
"Things that are equal to the same thing are equal to one another."
∵ ∠2 and ∠3 are equal to the same thing i.e., ∠4, ∠2 = ∠3.
∴ ∠2 = ∠3

Also, it is given,
∠1 = ∠3
∴ From Euclid's axioms ∠1 = ∠2
9. Given: < STQ=< RTP
To show that
< RTQ= STP
<STQ=<RTP
<STQ - <STR= < RTP - <STR
Using Euclid Axiom 2
Then, we get
< RTQ=< STP
Hence, proved.
10.
(i) x+8=x+8
(ii) If equals are added to equals, the wholes are equals.
(iii) y/2=y/2,
By Euclid’s 6th Axiom: Things which are halves of the same thing are equal to one another.
