Abstract:On the basis of the theoryepsi of Pasch-free 2-dimensional geometry, Pasch's axiom is shown to be equivalent to the conjunction of the following two axioms: ldquoIn any right triangle the hypotenuse is greater than the legrdquo and ldquoIf angAOB is right, B lies between O and C, and D is the footpoint of the perpendicular from B to AC, then the segment OA is greater than the segment BD.rdquo This represents an attempt to split the Pasch axiom with respect toepsi. Only the question whether the second of the above two axioms is really weaker than Pasch's axiom, remains open.
