Can the sum of the angles of a triangle exceed 180 degrees?
In basic Euclidean geometry no, the sum of the angles always equals 180 degrees exactly. In non-Euclidean geometry it can exceed 180 degrees.
Who figured out he basic laws of geometry?
Geometry, unlike science, doesn't really have laws, it has theorems, and many different mathematicians contributed to the creation of the basic theorems of geometry. Perhaps the best known is Pythagoras.
What Basic concepts or undefying in geometry?

point, line,
What are the 3 basic of geometry?
plane,line and points
What tools allowed the Greeks to exploit the five basic postulates of Euclidean geometry?

Can the sum of the angles of a triangle exceed 180 degrees?
In basic Euclidean geometry no, the sum of the angles always equals 180 degrees exactly. In non-Euclidean geometry it can exceed 180 degrees.
What are the basic constructions required by Euclid's postulates?
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.
Which of the following are the tools which allowed the Greeks to exploit the five basic postulates of Euclidian geometry?
Straightedge Compass
What is an undefined term in geometry?
It is a very basic concept which cannot be defined. Undefined terms are used to define other concepts. In Euclidean geometry, for example, point, line and plane are not defined.
What grade level learns geometry?
Starting from around 3rd-4th grade, you start to learn really basic geometry. But around 8th or 9th grade, you actually start to learn more advanced geometry that uses theorems and postulates and proofs.
Which basic shape has 3 sides and 3 corners?
The basic shape with 3 sides and 3 corners is called a triangle. A triangle is a polygon with three straight sides and three angles. It is the simplest polygon in Euclidean geometry.
Why lines related to mathematics?
Euclid introduced some basic mathematical concepts. Among these were point and line: a straight line being the shortest distance between two points (that was before non-Euclidean spaces were discovered). Lines, in turn, were used to describe shapes, and so lines are a fundamental element of geometry.
What are the five basic postulates of euclidean?
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.)
Can you move from basic algebra to geometry?
Yes, you can move from basic Algebra to Geometry, but only upon recommendation from your teacher.
What are postulates of euclidean geometry?
Postulates in geometry are very similar to axioms, self-evident truths, and beliefs in logic, political philosophy and personal decision-making. The five postulates of Euclidean Geometry define the basic rules governing the creation and extension of geometric figures with ruler and compass. Together with the five axioms (or "common notions") and twenty-three definitions at the beginning of Euclid's Elements, they form the basis for the extensive proofs given in this masterful compilation of ancient Greek geometric knowledge. They are as follows:A straight line may be drawn from any given point to any other.A straight line may be extended to any finite length.A circle may be described with any given point as its center and any distance as its radius.All right angles are equal.If a straight line intersects two other straight lines, and so makes the two interior angles on one side of it together less than two right angles, then the other straight lines will meet at a point if extended far enough on the side on which the angles are less than two right angles.Postulate 5, the so-called Parallel Postulate was the source of much annoyance, probably even to Euclid, for being so relatively prolix. Mathematicians have a peculiar sense of aesthetics that values simplicity arising from simplicity, with the long complicated proofs, equations and calculations needed for rigorous certainty done behind the scenes, and to have such a long sentence amidst such other straightforward, intuitive statements seems awkward. As a result, many mathematicians over the centuries have tried to prove the results of the Elements without using the Parallel Postulate, but to no avail. However, in the past two centuries, assorted non-Euclidean geometries have been derived based on using the first four Euclidean postulates together with minor variations on the fifth.
