4. 
Decide whether each statement is true or false. If a statement is true, say which of Euclid’s five postulates apply to it, then write the converse and contrapositive statements, and then decide which of these statements are true (it may help to rewrite the statements in “if-then” form). If it is false, give a counterexample or explain why.
