Question 1 (10) Are the following statements true or false? Where the
statement is false, make it to be true.
1.1 Euclid is the Pythagorean school and contributed to philosophy and the
study of proportion, plane, and solid geometry.
False. Euclid was not part of the Pythagorean school. He was a Greek
mathematician who is often referred to as the "Father of Geometry" and is
best known for his work "Elements," which laid the foundations of classical
geometry. While he did contribute significantly to the study of geometry,
he was not associated with the Pythagorean school.
Revised statement: Euclid was a Greek mathematician who contributed to
philosophy and the study of proportion, plane, and solid geometry through
his work "Elements."
1.2 Zeno of Elea proposed that a unit has magnitude and is infinitely
divisible. True. Zeno of Elea, a Greek philosopher from the 5th century BCE, is known for
his paradoxes, one of which involves the concept of infinite divisibility. He proposed that a
unit (such as a distance) could be infinitely divided into smaller parts, suggesting that space
and time are infinitely divisible.
