Using proportions, it is found that the correct time when it reads 10:30pm is of 9:40 pm.

<h3>What is a proportion?</h3>

A proportion is a fraction of total amount, and the measures are related using a rule of three.

In this problem, when 56 minutes have passed, the clock indicates that 60 minutes have passed. Hence, what is the time passed when the clock indicates that 12 hours and 30 minutes, that is, 60 x 12 + 30 = 750 minutes have passed?

Hence, the <em>rule of three</em> is:

56 minutes - 60 minutes

x minutes - 750 minutes

Applying cross multiplication:

60x = 56 \times 750

x = \frac{56 \times 750}{60}

x = 700

700 minutes is 660/60 = 11 hours + 40 minutes after 10:00 am, hence the correct time is of 9:40 pm.

Which of the following are among the five basic postulates of euclidean geometry
docker41 [41]

Answer : The Euclidean geometry is a mathematical system that is attributed to Alexandrian Greek mathematician Euclid. He described mostly about the Elements in geometry. The method consisted of assuming a small set of intuitively appealing axioms, and deducing many other propositions from these.

The five basic postulates of euclidean geometry are as follows;

  1. A straight line may be drawn between any two points.
  2. A piece of straight line may be extended indefinitely.
  3. A circle may be drawn with any given radius and an arbitrary center.
  4. All right angles are equal.
  5. If a straight line crossing two straight lines makes the interior angles on the same side less than two right angles, the two straight lines, if extended indefinitely, meet on that side on which are the angles less than the two right angles.
