Math 308 Final Exam - Page 12 of 12 02/12/14 A partial list of axioms and propositions from Book I of Euclid s Elements Definition 15. A circle is a plane figure contained by one line such that all the straight lines falling upon it from one point among those lying within the figure equal one another. Definition 20. Of trilateral figures, an equilateral triangle is that which has its three sides equal, an isosceles triangle that which has two of its sides alone equal, and a scalene triangle that which has its three sides unequal. Definition 21. Further, of trilateral figures, a right-angled triangle is that which has a right angle, an obtuse-angled triangle that which has an obtuse angle, and an acute-angled triangle that which has its three angles acute. Definition 22. Of quadrilateral figures, a square is that which is both equilateral and right-angled; an oblong that which is right-angled but not equilateral... Definition 23. Parallel straight lines are straight lines which, being in the same plane and being produced indefinitely in both directions, do not meet one another in either direction. Postulate 1. To draw a straight line from any point to any point. Postulate 2. To produce a finite straight line continuously in a straight line. Postulate 3. To describe a circle with any center and radius. Postulate 4. That all right angles equal one another. Postulate 5. That, if a straight line falling on two straight lines makes the interior angles on the same side less than two right angles, the two straight lines, if produced indefinitely, meet on that side on which are the angles less than the two right angles. Common notion 1. Things which equal the same thing also equal one another. Common notion 2. If equals are added to equals, then the wholes are equal. Common notion 3. If equals are subtracted from equals, then the remainders are equal. Common notion 4. Things which coincide with one another equal one another. Common notion 5. The whole is greater than the part. Proposition 4. If two triangles have two sides equal to two sides respectively, and have the angles contained by the equal straight lines equal, then they also have the base equal to the base, the triangle equals the triangle, and the remaining angles equal the remaining angles respectively, namely those opposite the equal sides. Proposition 13. If a straight line stands on a straight line, then it makes either two right angles or angles whose sum equals two right angles. Proposition 14. If with any straight line, and at a point on it, two straight lines not lying on the same side make the sum of the adjacent angles equal to two right angles, then the two straight lines are in a straight line with one another. Proposition 15. If two straight lines cut one another, then they make the vertical angles equal to one another. Proposition 23. To construct a rectilinear angle equal to a given rectilinear angle on a given straight line and at a point on it. Proposition 26. If two triangles have two angles equal to two angles respectively, and one side equal to one side, namely, either the side adjoining the equal angles, or that opposite one of the equal angles, then the remaining sides equal the remaining sides and the remaining angle equals the remaining angle. Proposition 29. A straight line falling on parallel straight lines makes the alternate angles equal to one another, the exterior angle equal to the interior and opposite angle, and the sum of the interior angles on the same side equal to two right angles. Proposition 31. To draw a straight line through a given point parallel to a given straight line. Proposition 38. Triangles which are on equal bases and in the same parallels equal one another. Proposition 41. If a parallelogram has the same base with a triangle and is in the same parallels, then the parallelogram is double the triangle.
