The Ruler Postulate

The ruler postulate, also known as the ruler axiom, is a fundamental principle in geometry that defines the concept of a ruler and its use in measuring lengths. It states that the points on a straight line can be paired with the real numbers in a one-to-one correspondence, where each point corresponds to a unique real number, and vice versa.

Sample Sentences:

1. The ruler postulate allows us to assign precise numerical values to the points on a line segment.
2. According to the ruler postulate, if two points A and B are on a line, their distance can be determined through mathematical calculations.
3. Understanding the ruler postulate is crucial for accurately measuring and comparing lengths in geometric figures.
