Exercise 5.2

Write whether the following statements are True or False? Justify your answer:
1. Euclidean geometry is valid only for curved surfaces.
Solution:
False
Justification:
The statement “Euclidean geometry is valid only for curved surfaces” is false because Euclidean
geometry is valid only for the figures in the plane but on the curved surfaces it fails.

2. The boundaries of the solids are curves.

Solution:
False
Justification:
The statement “the boundaries of the solids are curves” is false because the boundaries of the
solids are surfaces.

3. The edges of a surface are curves.

Solution:
False
Justification:
The statement “the edges of a surface are curves” is false because the edges of surfaces are lines.

4. The things which are double of the same thing are equal to one another.
Solution:
True
Justification:
The statement “the things which are double of the same thing are equal to one another” is true
since, it is one of the Euclid’s axiom.
Exercise 5.3
Solve each of the following question using appropriate Euclid’s axiom :
1. Two salesmen make equal sales during the month of August. In September, each salesman
doubles his sale of the month of August. Compare their sales in September.
Solution:
Let the sale of both the salesmen in August = x.
According to the question, we have,
In September, each salesman doubles his sales of August.
Hence, we have,
In September,
Sales of first salesmen = 2x
And, sales of second salesman = 2x.
According to Euclid’s axioms, things which are double of the same things are equal to one
another.
Therefore, in September their sales are again equal.

2. It is known that x + y = 10 and that x = z. Show that z + y = 10?

Solution:
According to the question,
We have,
x+y=10 …(i)
And, x=z …(ii)
Applying the Euclid’s axiom,
“if equals are added to equals, the wholes are equal”
We get,
From Eqs. (i) and (ii)
x+y=z+y ….(iii)
From Eqs. (i) and (iii)
z+y=10

3. Look at the Fig. 5.3. Show that length AH > sum of lengths of AB + BC + CD.

Solution:
According to the given figure, we have,
AB+BC+CD =AD
Here, AD is a part of AH.
According to Euclid’s axiom,
“The whole is greater than the part”
i.e., AH > AD
Therefore, length AH > sum of the lengths of AB+BC+CD.
4. In the Fig.5.4, we have AB = BC, BX = BY. Show that AX = CY.

Solution:
According to the question,
We have,
AB =BC …(i)
and BX=BY …(ii)
According to Euclid’s axiom,
“If equals are subtracted from equals, the remainders are equal.”
Subtracting Eq.(ii) from (i),
We get,
AB-BX = BC-BY
⇒ AX = CY [from the given figure]

5. In the Fig.5.5, we have X and Y are the mid-points of AC and BC and AX = CY. Show that AC
= BC.
Solution:
Given, X is the mid-point of AC
AX = CX= ½ AC
⇒ 2AX =2CX = AC …(i)
Y is the mid-point of BC.
BY = CY = ½ BC
⇒ 2BY = 2CY= BC …(ii)
According to the question,
We also have,
AX=CY …(iii)
Applying the Euclid’s axiom,
“Things which are double of the same things are equal to one another”.
We get,
From Eq. (iii),
2AX = 2CY
Using Eqs. (i) and (ii), we get,
AC=BC
Hence Proved.

6. In the Fig.5.6, we have BX = ½ AB, BY = ½ BC and AB = BC. Show that BX = BY.

Solution:
According to the question,
We have,
BX = ½ AB and BY = ½ BC
⇒ 2BX = AB ….(i)
⇒ 2BY = BC ….(ii)
It is also given that,
AB = BC …(iii)
Substituting the values from Eqs. (i) and (ii) in eq. (iii), we get,
2BX = 2BY
Applying the Euclid’s axiom, “things which are double of same things are equal to one another”.
BX =BY
Exercise 5.4

1. 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 an equilateral triangle.
Solution:
The terms need to be defined are.
i: Polygon: Polygon is a closed figure bounded by three or more-line segments.
ii: Line segment: A line segment is a part of line having two end points.
Undefined terms are:
i: Line: undefined term
ii: Point: undefined term
Let us see why line and point are undefined terms.
Angle: Angle in a figure is formed by two rays with one common initial point.
Acute angle: Acute angle is an angle whose measure is between 0° to 90°.
Hence, the undefined terms are line and point.
According to the question,
All the angles of equilateral triangle are 60° each (given)
Two-line segments are equal to third one (given)
Applying to Euclid’s axiom, things which are equal to the same thing are equal to one another.
Therefore, all three sides of an equilateral triangle are equal.

2. Study the following statement:

“Two intersecting lines cannot be perpendicular to the same line”.
Check whether it is an equivalent version to the Euclid’s fifth postulate.
[Hint: Identify the two intersecting lines l and m and the line n in the above statement.]
Solution:
Two equivalent version of Euclid’s fifth postulate are:
• For every line l and for every point p not lying on l, there exists a unique line m passing
through p and parallel to l.
• Two distinct intersecting lines cannot be parallel to the same line.
From these two statements, it is clear that the statement “two intersecting lines cannot be
perpendicular to the same line” is not an equivalent version to the Euclid’s fifth postulate.
