Although he presented it differently, the modern version is as follows:
- given a straight line and a point which is not on that line, there is only one line which will pass through the point and which is parallel to the line.

Why does a triangles angles always add up to 180 degrees?
It is a consequence of Euclids's parallel postulate.
What is the differences between postulate theorems and converse?
postulate theorems tell that the lines are parallel, but the converse if asking you to find if the lines are parallel.
What are the two kinds of geometry?
euclidean Geometry where the parallel line postulate exists. and the is also eliptic geometry where the parallel line postulate does not exist.
If there is a line and a point not on the line then there is exactly lines trough the point parallel to the given line?
This is Euclid's fifth postulate, also known as the Parallel Postulate. It is quite possible to construct consistent systems of geometry where this postulate is negated - either many parallel lines or none.
what postulate or theorem guarantees that line L and line N are parallel?
converse of the corresponding angles postulate

How are euclids discoveries being used today?
Euclidean geometry is the study of points, lines, planes, and other geometric figures. The most prolonged argument over time has been that of the parallel postulate which states: there can only be one line that contains a given point and is parallel to another line.

Which lines or segments are parallel justify your answer with a theorem or postulate?
Parallel lines are parallel. Proof they have same slopes
what postulate or theorem guarantees that line L and line N are parallel?
converse of the corresponding angles postulate
What is another name for the parallel postulate?
Playfair Axiom
Another name for the Playfair Axiom?
parallel postulate
Through a point not on the line exactly one line can be drawn parallel to the?
... given line. This is one version of Euclid's fifth postulate, also known as the Parallel Postulate. It is quite possible to construct consistent systems of geometry where this postulate is negated - either many parallel lines or none.
Does the parallel postulate in Euclidean geometry work in spherical geometry?
No.
Why does a triangle have 180 degree?
It is a consequence of Euclid's parallel postulate. In fact, in some versions, the statement that "a plane triangle has interior angles that sum to 180 degrees" replaces the parallel postulate.
