When a straight line AB meets another straight line CD , so as to make the adjacent angles BAC , BAD , equal to each other , each of those angles is called a right angle ; and the line AB is said to be perpendicular to CD . 11.

But if the adjacent angles BCA , BCF , are together equal to two right angles , ACF must be a straight line ( Prop . III . ) : from whence it follows , that between the same two points , A and F , two straight lines can be drawn , which ...
