To Euclid, a postulate is something that is so obvious it may be accepted without proof.

A. A straightedge and compass can be used to create any figure.

That's not Euclid, that's just goofy.

B. A straight line segment can be drawn between any two points.

That's Euclid's first postulate.

C. Any straight line segment can be extended indefinitely.

That's Euclid's second postulate.

D. The angles of a triangle always add up to 180.

That's true, but a theorem not a postulate. Euclid and the Greeks didn't really use degree angle measurements like we do. They didn't really trust them, I think justifiably. Euclid called 180 degrees "two right angles."

Can someone please explain this
Pani-rosa [81]

Answer:

x = 7

Step-by-step explanation:

There is a total of 180 degrees in a triangle. To solve you add the other angles and set = to 180 then solve for x

180 = 33 + 90 + 7x +8

172 = 33 + 90 + 7x

139 = 90 +7x

49 = 7x

7 = x

Which one doesn’t belong? Select a graph and give a reason why you selected the shape. Are there any other graphs that do not be
borishaifa [10]

Answer:

Graph 4

Step-by-step explanation:

Graph 4 does not belong. This is as a result of the fact that it Graph 4 has a negative slope(descends) while all other graphs have a positive slope(ascends).

Another way to view it is that the values in Graphs 1, 2 and 3 are directly related while the values in Graph 4 are inversely related.

The length of the rectangular tennis court at wimbledon is 6 feet longer than twice the width. if the court's perimeter is 240 f
KATRIN_1 [288]

Length (L): 2w + 6

width (w): w

Perimeter (P) = 2L + 2w

               240 = 2(2w + 6) + 2(w)

               240 = 4w + 12 + 2w

               240 = 6w + 12

               228 = 6w

                 38 = w

Length (L): 2w + 6   = 2(38) + 6   = 76 + 6   = 82

Answer: width = 38 ft, length = 82 ft
