![Euclidean Geometry
The Euclidean Geometry is an axiomatic system along with five axioms .
The five axioms are:
1. To draw a straight line from any point to any point.
2. To produce [extend] a finite straight line continuously in a straight line.
3. To describe a circle with any center and distance [radius].
4. That all right angles are equal to one another.
5. The parallel postulate: That, if a straight line falling on two straight lines
make 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.
It is possible to reject any or all of these and still have valid geometries with different
principles. For example, if we simply toss out #5, we are no longer dealing with
Euclidean Geometry, we are dealing with Hyperbolic geometry (in which there are
infinite distinct lines parallel to another line through a given point)…. And if …](https://image.slidesharecdn.com/1c-130306232443-phpapp01/75/Geometry-Introduction-c-5-2048.jpg)

The document defines an axiomatic system and its key properties: 1. An axiomatic system consists of undefined terms, definitions, axioms, and theorems which are logical consequences of the axioms. 2. Axioms are independent if they cannot be deduced from other axioms. A set of axioms is complete if no independent axioms can be added. 3. A set of axioms is consistent if no theorem can be deduced that contradicts an axiom or previously proved theorem. 4. Euclidean geometry is an example axiomatic system based on 5 axioms, including the parallel postulate which distinguishes it from
