Page 142 - THEOREM. If two triangles on the same sphere, or on equal spheres, are mutually equiangular, they will also be mutually equilateral. Let A and B be the two given triangles; P and Q their polar triangles. Since the angles are equal in the triangles A and B, the sides will be equal in. their polar triangles P and Q (Prop.
