Page 38 - That, if a straight line falling on two straight lines make the interior angles on the same side less than two right angles, the two straight lines, if produced indefinitely, meet on that side on which are the angles less than the two right angles.
Page 227 - A spherical triangle is a portion of the surface of a sphere, bounded by three arcs of great circles.

Page 43 - Hence, the interior angles plus four right angles, is equal to twice as many right angles as the polygon has sides, and consequently, equal to the sum of the interior angles plus the sum of the exterior angles.
Page 215 - The surface of a sphere is equal to the product of its diameter by the circumference of a great circle.
