It is known that if x + y = 10 then x + y + z = 10 + z. Euclid’s axiom that illustrates this statement is
A. First Axiom
B. Second Axiom
C. Third axiom
D. Fourth Axiom
Answer:B
It is known that if x + y = 10 then x + y + z = 10 + z. Euclid’s axiom that illustrates this statement is
A. First Axiom B. Second Axiom C. Third axiom D. Fourth Axiom
Explanation: By using Euclid’s second axiom, if equals are added to equals then wholes are equal. Hence, if z has been added to both the sides of equation x + y = 10, then it becomes x + y + z = 10 + z.
