Answer :
According to axiom 5, we have 'The whole is greater than a part', which is a universal truth.
Let a line segment PQ = 8cm. Consider a point R in its interior, such that PR = 5cm.
Clearly, PR is a
part of the line segment PQ and R lies in its interior.
Hence, PR is smaller than PQ.
Hence, the whole is greater than its part is proved.
