Question:
Look at the adjoining figure. Show that length AH > sum of lengths of AB + BC+CD.
Thinking Process
Apply the Euclid’s axiom, the whole is greater than the part, to show the given result.
Solution:
From the given figure, we have
AB+ BC + CD = AD [AB, SC and CD are the parts of AD] Here, AD is also the parts of AH.
According to Euclid’s axiom, the whole is greater than the part. i.e., AH> AD.
So, length AH> sum of lengths of AB+ BC + CD.
