[…] The straight line is that which is equally extended between its points”
Euclid described a line as “breadthless length”, and introduced several postulates as basic unprovable properties from which he constructed the geometry, which is now called Euclidean geometry to avoid confusion with other geometries which have been introduced since the end of nineteenth century (such as non-Euclidean geometry, projective geometry, and affine geometry).
In modern mathematics, given the…
