About: Lotschnittaxiom

An Entity of Type: Thing, from Named Graph: http://dbpedia.org, within Data Space: dbpedia.org

The Lotschnittaxiom (German for "axiom of the intersecting perpendiculars") is an axiom in the foundations of geometry, introduced and studied by Friedrich Bachmann. It states: Perpendiculars raised on each side of a right angle intersect. Bachmann showed that, in the absence of the Archimedean axiom, it is strictly weaker than the rectangle axiom, which states that there is a rectangle, which in turn is strictly weaker than the Parallel Postulate, as shown by Max Dehn. In the presence of the Archimedean axiom, the Lotschnittaxiom is equivalent with the Parallel Postulate.
