Yanıt Açıklaması:

Although the knowledge of the main concepts like the numbers or shapes depends on observations, the relationship among these concepts is based on some presuppositions. For example, the triangle concept, a shape consisting of three intersecting lines, is based on observations. But the presupposition that the sum of the interior angles of a triangle is 180 degrees, has no concern with observations.
