Page 29 - If two triangles have one angle of the one equal to one angle of the other and the sides about these equal angles proportional, the triangles are similar.
Page 143 - Equal triangles which have one angle of the one equal to one angle of the other, have their sides about the equal angles reciprocally proportional : And triangles which have one angle in the one equal to one angle in the other, and their sides about the equal angles reciprocally proportional, are equal to one another.
Page 31 - ABD, is equal* to two right angles, «13. 1. therefore all the interior, together with all the exterior angles of the figure, are equal to twice as many right angles as there are sides of the figure; that is, by the foregoing corollary, they are equal to all the interior angles of the figure, together with four right angles; therefore all the exterior angles are equal to four right angles.
Page 25 - If two right-angled triangles have their hypotenuses equal, and one side of the one equal to one side of the other, the triangles are congruent.
Page 29 - The three angles of any triangle taken together are equal to the three angles of any other triangle taken together. From whence it follows, 2.
Page 217 - ... to one of the consequents, so are all the antecedents to all the consequents ; [V. 12] hence the whole polyhedral solid in the sphere about A as centre has to the whole polyhedral solid in the other sphere the ratio triplicate of that which AB has to the radius of the other sphere, that is, of that which the diameter BD has to the diameter of the other sphere. QED This proposition is of great length and therefore requires summarising in order to make it easier to grasp. Moreover there are some...
