Euclid's Axioms
When there are two lines cut by a third line, if the sum of the
interior angles is less than 180°, then the two lines will meet
when extended on that side.
∠ ∠ ∠ ∠
In the image given below, 1+ 2<180∘ 1+ 2<180∘.
Therefore, Line mm and nn will meet when extended on the
side of 1 and 2

To draw the Euclidean six point geometry start with radius line
AB on two perpendicular lines. Set your compass at B and draw
the circle with radius AB. Next set your compass at point 1 and
using the same radius AB swing the compass to draw the first
arc that touches the sides of the circle. Next set your compass at
point #2 where the first arc touches the circle and swing another
arc. Procede around the circle setting your compass at the
intersection of the arc and circle to draw the rest of the arcs.
The six point geometry can also be call six rose petals, seed of
life, timber framing daisy wheel, Dutch Hexagram, thunder
marks, hex rose petal or the basis for the Star of David or that
King Solomon’s seal is based on six point geometry.
