Page 23 - 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 29 - 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 83 - Two triangles, which have an angle of the one equal to an angle of the other, and the sides containing these angles proportional, are similar.
