Q37. In a trip to a museum in Delhi, students observed that one of the halls is not 1+1+2
a rectangle. They imagined that if the edges of the hall’s floor are extended it
will appear as lines exhibited in Euclid’s 5th postulate . Later on the way
back to school, they discussed Euclid’s other axioms and postulates with
their teacher. Next day they had a revision class in school where teacher
asked them following questions:
a) State the first postulate of Euclid .
b) If PQ = QR and QR = RP , then PQ = RP. Identify the axiom used in this.
c) State Euclid’s 5th postulate with a figure . Does Euclid’s 5th postulate
imply the existence of parallel lines ? Explain.

5. Peter marked ∠BOE and ∠BOD as y and x respectively
Now answer the following questions:
1. What is the value of x?
2. What is the value of y?
3. What should be the value of x + 2z? And what is the relation between
y and z?
