Page 4 - When a straight line standing on another straight line makes the adjacent angles equal to one another, each of the angles is called a right angle ; and the straight line which stands on the other is called a perpendicular to it.
Page 124 - A diameter of a circle is a straight line drawn through the centre, and terminated both ways by the circumference.
Page 17 - To draw a straight line through a given point parallel to a given straight line. Let A be the given point, and BC the given straight line : it is required to draw a straight line through the point A parallel to the straight line BC. In BC take any point g D, and join AD ; at the point A in the straight line AD, make the angle DAE equal to the angle
Page 74 - RULE. — From half the sum of the three sides, subtract each side separately; multiply the half -sum and the three remainders together; the square root of the product is the area.
Page 18 - To draw a straight line perpendicular to a given straight line of an unlimited length, from a given point without it. Let AB be the given straight line, which may be produced to any length both ways, and let c be a point without it.
Page 7 - A circle is a plane figure contained by one line, which is called the circumference, and is such that all straight lines drawn from a certain point within the figure to the circumference, are equal to one another.
Page 4 - Parallel straight lines are such as are in the same plane, and which being produced ever so far both ways, do not meet.
