Answer:

  • Postulates are the most important building blocks of geometric proofs.
  • Postulates are often the basic truth of a much larger theory or law. Postulates themselves cannot be proven, but since they are usually obviously correct this is not a problem.
  • A postulate (also sometimes called an axiom) is a statement that is agreed by everyone to be correct.

     A good example of a postulate is given by Euclid as:

          "  Two points determine (make) a line "

<span>Postulates are helpful because it helps you plan and solve geometry problems.
That's my guess. It doesn't tell me in the text either.</span>

If AD=6 and AB=24, find AC
ruslelena [56]
When a perpendicular is dropped from the right-angle (C) to the opposite side AB, the metric relations apply:
BD*BA=a^2 ..........................(1)
AD*AB=b^2...........................(2)
BD*DA=DC^2........................(3)

Given AD=6, AB=24, using metric relation (2) above, we have
b^2=6*24=144
=>
b=sqrt(144)=12

By the way, we conclude that this is a 30-60-90 triangle because b/AB=(1/2)=sin(B) => B=30 degrees.

Answer: b=12
