Page 42 - If two triangles have two sides of one equal respectively to two sides of the other, but the included angle of the first triangle greater than the included angle of the second, then the third side of the first is greater than the third side of the second.
Page 191 - In any proportion, the product of the means is equal to the product of the extremes.
