Document Summary
Age combination that multiplies to 36 and the sum: 2 + 2 + 9 = 13. Axiom 1: things which are equal to the same thing are also equal to one another. Axiom 2: if equals be added to equals, the wholes are equal. Axiom 3: if equals be subtracted from equals, the remainders are equal. Axiom 4: things which coincide with one another are equal to one another. Axiom 5: the whole is greater than the part. Postulate 1: it is possible to draw a straight line from any point to any other point. Postulate 2: it is possible to produce a finite straight line continuously in a straight line. Postulate 3: it is possible to describe a circle with any center and distance. Postulate 4: it is true that all right angles are equal to one another. People from 1000s of years ago believe this concept was not as obvious as it appeared to be.
