In the context of Mathematics and Geometry, what does the term 'axioms' refer to?

  1. Fundamental assumptions or statements considered self-evident.

  2. Complex mathematical equations used for problem-solving.

  3. Geometric shapes with specific properties and characteristics.

  4. Units of measurement employed in geometric calculations.


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Axioms serve as the foundation for mathematical and geometric systems, providing a starting point for deducing theorems and exploring relationships.

Which ancient Greek mathematician is widely regarded as the 'Father of Geometry'?

  1. Euclid

  2. Pythagoras

  3. Archimedes

  4. Aristotle


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Euclid's contributions to geometry, particularly his axiomatic approach and the development of theorems in his renowned work 'Elements', earned him the title 'Father of Geometry'.

What is the relationship between a point, a line, and a plane in Euclidean geometry?

  1. A point is a zero-dimensional object, a line is one-dimensional, and a plane is two-dimensional.

  2. A point is a one-dimensional object, a line is two-dimensional, and a plane is three-dimensional.

  3. A point is a two-dimensional object, a line is three-dimensional, and a plane is four-dimensional.

  4. A point is a three-dimensional object, a line is four-dimensional, and a plane is five-dimensional.


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

In Euclidean geometry, a point has no dimensions, a line has one dimension (length), and a plane has two dimensions (length and width).
