Euclid`s Elements: Introduction to “Proofs”
... version of postulates for “Euclidean geometry”. The proof also needs an expanded version of postulate 1, that only one segment can join the same two points. Isosceles triangle principle, and self congruences The next proposition “the isosceles triangle principle”, is also very useful, but Euclid’s o ...

... 9. Indirect Proof or Proof by Contradiction A theorem usually consists of two parts: the hypotheses (given statements) and a conclusion (to prove.) Method of Direct Proof: We start by assuming all of the hypotheses are true and then produce a sequence of statements, each of which follows logically f ...
