✦ Try This: What is Euclid’s fourth axiom? What is the result on two (i) circles, (ii) lines, (iii) triangles which are coinciding?

We know that Euclid’s fourth axiom is

“Things which coincide with one another are equal to one another.”

(i) If two circles coincide, their radius is equal.

(ii) If two lines coincide the length of two segments are equal.

(iii) If two triangles coincide they are equal in all aspects.

Therefore, “Things which coincide with one another are equal to one another” is Euclid’s fourth axiom.
