Page 177 - If two polygons are composed of the same number of triangles, similar each to each and similarly placed, the polygons are similar.
Page 198 - In any triangle, the product of two sides is equal to the square of the bisector of the included angle plus the product of the segments of the third side.
Page 192 - In any triangle, the square of the side opposite an acute angle is equal to the sum of the squares of the other two sides diminished by twice the product of one of those sides and the projection of the other upon that side.
