how did euclid contribute to our understanding and practice of geometry?
euclid started with a set of assumptions and used
as
to develop the proofs of geometric theorems. he is often referred to
For the blank where Euclid used a method to develop geometric theory proofs, Euclid's work in geometry (specifically in "Elements") relied on logical deduction from axioms/postulates. Among the options (calculations, experimentation, logic), "logic" is correct because he used logical reasoning (deductive logic) to derive geometric theorems from initial assumptions (axioms). Calculations are more about numerical computation, and experimentation is empirical, which doesn't fit Euclid's deductive approach.
