Question 2:
Does Euclid’s fifth postulate imply the existence of parallel lines? Explain.
Yes.
According to Euclid’s 5th postulate, when n line falls on l and m and if
, producing line l and m further will meet in the side of ∠1 and ∠2 which is less than ![]()

If ![]()

The lines l and m neither meet at the side of ∠1 and ∠2 nor at the side of ∠3 and ∠4. This means that the lines l and m will never intersect each other. Therefore, it can be said that the lines are parallel.
