Read the statements that follow are true, false, or cannot be determined from the information given in the passage. history tells us that a greek by the name of euclid was the father of geometry, but the need for geometry started with the egyptians. landmarks and boundaries in egypt disappeared each year when the nile river flooded the area. the ancient egyptians had to measure their land often to define their boundaries every year. this was certainly a practical use for geometry. the egyptians used geometry to determine their boundaries. select the best answer from the choices provided. a. true b. false c. cannot be determined

The correct answer is A.

The fact that Egyptians used geometry to determine their boundaries is not explicitly stated in the passage. However, it can be inferred from the passage that yes, the Egyptians did use geometry to define their boundaries.

We can infer this information because the passage tells us the Greeks were not the first to use geometry. The Egyptians used geometry well before the Greeks. Finally, the last line of the passage indicates that defining boundaries "was certainly a practical use for geometry."

Therefore, the correct answer is A. It is true that the Egyptians used geometry to determine their boundaries.
