Question 1 • Junior Studies (Math) - A (Mrs. Hitchcock) 26-27

There are few details known about the life of Euclid. Most evidence of his work comes from the writings of other scholars at that time. What are some of the theories about Euclid? Check all that apply.

Answer
A
He lived in Alexandria, Egypt.
B
He lived before Plato.
C
His work is actually a combination of many scholars’ work.
D
He never taught mathematics.
E
He is credited as the father of geometry.

Explanation

Euclid is generally believed to have lived and worked in Alexandria, Egypt, and he is widely credited as the father of geometry. Scholars have also suggested that his writings, especially his famous geometry work, brought together ideas developed by many earlier mathematicians. He lived after Plato, so choice B is not correct; there is no basis here for saying he never taught mathematics.
