Euclid’s Elements includes five postulates on which the rest of geometry is based. They are: 1. Let it have been postulated to draw a straight-line from any point to any point. 2. And to produce a finite straight-line continuously in a straight-line 3. And to draw a circle with any center and radius 4. And that all right-angles are equal to one another 5. And that if a straight-line falling across two (other) straight lines makes internal angles on the same side (

3 just says that you can draw a circle centered at a given point using a compass 4 says that all right angles (or 90 degree angles) are equal (to 90) not exactly sure what 5 is saying, i think it's describing 2 parallel lines (and a transversal line)

i just dont know how to draw all of those, using points and letter, like A, and B

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

# 1 Say you had 2 points A and B, you can draw a straight line through them like this |dw:1350001993100:dw|

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

# 2 if you have a line segment like this one |dw:1350002051756:dw|

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

you can extend it out in both directions to get |dw:1350002076308:dw|
