Page 68 - The straight line joining the middle points of two sides of a triangle is parallel to the third side, and equal to half of it.
Page 77 - If there be two straight lines, one of which is divided into any number of parts, the rectangle contained by the two straight lines is equal to the rectangles contained by the undivided line, and the several parts of the divided line.
Page 50 - If a parallelogram and a triangle be upon the same base, and between the same parallels; the parallelogram is double of the triangle.
Page 87 - If a straight line be divided into two equal, and also into two unequal parts, the squares on the two unequal parts are together double of the square on half the line and of the square on the line between the points of section.
