Page 35 - All the interior angles of any rectilineal figure, together with four right angles, are equal to twice as many right angles as the figure has sides.
Page 57 - If two triangles have the three sides of the one equal to the three sides of the other, each to each, the triangles are congruent.
Page 117 - Through a given point to draw a straight line parallel to a given straight line, Let A be the given point, and BC the given straight line : it is required to draw through the point A a straight line parallel to BC.
Page 50 - If any number of magnitudes are proportional, any antecedent is to its consequent as the sum of all the antecedents is to the sum of all the consequents. Let A : B : : C : D : : E : F; then will A : B : : A + C + E : B + D + F.
