Question 14

If $x = y$, then $2x = 2y$. Which Euclidean axiom supports this deduction?

Accepted Answer

A) Things which are double of the same things are equal to one another.

Answer

B) Things which are halves of the same things are equal to one another.

Answer

C) The whole is greater than the part.

Answer

D) If equals are subtracted from equals, the remainders are equal.

Question 15

If a line falling on two straight lines makes the interior angles on the same side sum to $150^\circ$, what will happen to the two lines on that side?

Accepted Answer
