Question

Give an example of a postulate

Answer 1

If you have a line segment with endpoints A and B, and point C is between points A and B, then AC + CB = AB. The Angle Addition Postulate: This postulates states that if you divide one angle into two smaller angles, then the sum of those two angles must be equal to the measure of the original angle.

Answer 2

A Postulate is a statement, also known as an axiom, which is taken to be true without proof. Postulates are the basic structure from which lemmas and theorems are derived. The whole of Euclidean geometry, for example, is based on five postulates known as Euclid's postulates.
