Page 3 - The base of a triangle is the side upon which it is supposed to stand.
Page 2 - A Plane Surface, or a Plane, is a surface in which, if any two points be taken, the straight line joining these points will lie wholly in the surface.
Page 4 - A Polygon of three sides is called a triangle ; one of four sides, a quadrilateral; one of five sides, a pentagon; one of six sides, a hexagon; one of seven sides, a heptagon; one of eight sides, an octagon ; one of ten sides, a decagon ; one of twelve sides, a dodecagon, &c.
Page 5 - A Polygon is circumscribed about a circle when all of its sides are tangent to the circle, and a circle is circumscribed about a polygon when the circumference passes through all the vertices of the polygon.
Page 2 - A Right Angle is an angle included between two straight lines which meet each other so that the two adjacent angles formed by producing one of the lines through the vertex are equal. Thus if the straight line AB meet the straight line С D...
