|
Answer» Euclid listed 23 definitions in book 1 of the 'elements'. We list a few of them: 1) A point is that which has no part 2) A line is a breadth less length 3) The ends of a line are points 4) A straight line is a line which lies evenly with the points on itself. 5) A surface is that which has length and breadth only. 6) The edges of a surface are lines 7) A plane surface is surface which lies evenly with straight lines on its self. Starting with these definitions, Euclid assumed certain assumptions, known as axioms and postulates. |
