Euclidean geometry is a mathematical system attributed to the Alexandrian Greek mathematician Euclid, which he described in his textbook on geometry: the Elements. Euclid's method consists in assuming a small set of intuitively appealing axioms, and deducing many other propositions (theorems) from these.

Procedure to determine the equality of numbers in rationals plus square root
Consider the set $\mathbb{Q}^\sqrt{}$ of real numbers that can be constructed by applying finitely many of the five operations $+$, $-$, $\cdot$, $/$ and $\sqrt{}$ to a positive rational number. Examp …

Equality of Euclidean numbers / constructible numbers
Euclidean numbers are those real number that can be constructed from the natural numbers by a finite chain of +,-,*,/ and $\sqrt{}$. They are also called Constructible Numbers.

Proving coincidence in Euclidean geometry by using finitely many constellations
Two polynomials $f(x)$ and $g(x)$ of degree $n$ are equal if they are equal for $n+1$ different $x$.
Is anything like this true for Euclidean geometry? Say, I have three arbitrary points in the plan …
