TASK 1.1 Upon learning the concept of The origin of geometry, undefined terms
and Euclid’s first four postulates, please do the following task.

happened during Egyptian until the development Book of Element.

3. In your own understanding, how does the four axioms of Euclid help the
development of modern geometry.

 Knowing the concept of four Euclidean axioms is very simple truth. We can
easily understand that they are true and that no formal proof is required.
These axioms have had a significance impact on the development of
modern geometry, and make the modern geometry more effective and
Euclid used these to the introduction of the axiomatic system.
