The five basic postulates of Geometry, also referred to as Euclid's postulates are the following:
1.) A straight line segment can be drawn joining any two points.
2.) Any straight line segment can be extended indefinitely in a straight line.
3.) Given any straight line segment, a circle can be drawn having the segment as a radius and one endpoint as the center.
4.) All right angles are congruent.
5.) If two lines are drawn which intersect a third in such a way that the sum of the inner angles on one side is less than two right angles (or 180 degrees), then the two lines inevitably must intersect each other on that side if extended far enough. (This postulate is equivalent to what is known as the parallel postulate.)

No. Postulates are the foundations of geometry. If you said they were wrong then it would be saying that Euclidean geometry is wrong. It is like if you asked how do we know that English is right. It is how the English language works. So no postulates do not need to be proven.

The ruler placement postulate is the third postulate in a set of principles (postulates, axioms) adapted for use in high schools concerning plane geometry (Euclidean Geometry).
Answer The two commonly mentioned non-Euclidean geometries are hyperbolic geometry and elliptic geometry. If one takes "non-Euclidean geometry" to mean a geometry satisfying all of Euclid's postulates but the parallel postulate, these are the two possible geometries.
The basic constructions required by Euclid's postulates include drawing a straight line between two points, extending a line indefinitely in a straight line, drawing a circle with a given center and radius, constructing a perpendicular bisector of a line segment, and constructing an angle bisector. These constructions are foundational in Euclidean geometry and form the basis for further geometric reasoning.
Non-Euclidean geometries are based on the negation of his parallel postulate (his fifth postulate). The other Euclidean postulates remain.A rephrasing of Euclid's parallel postulate is as follows:For any given line â„“ and a point A, which is not on â„“, there is exactly one line through A that does not intersect â„“. (The other postulates confirm the existence of â„“ and A.)One set of alternative geometries (projective geometry, for example) is based on the postulate that there are no such lines. Another set of is based on the postulate of an infinite number of lines.
