Page 37 - IF a side of any triangle be produced, the exterior angle is equal to the two interior and opposite angles; and the three interior angles of every triangle are equal to two right angles.
Page 13 - THE angles at the base of an isosceles triangle are equal to one another : and, if the equal sides be produced, the angles upon the other side of the base shall be equal. Let ABC be an isosceles triangle, of which the side AB is equal to AC, and let the straight lines AB, AC be produced to D and E.
Page 7 - A diameter of a circle is a straight line drawn through the centre, and terminated both ways by the circumference.

Page 34 - Wherefore, if a straight line, &c. QED PROPOSITION XXVIII. THEOREM. If a straight line falling upon two other straight lines, make the exterior angle equal to the interior and opposite upon the same side of the line ; or make the interior angles upon the same side together equal to two right angles ; the two straight lines shall be parallel to one another.
Page 69 - If a straight line be bisected, and produced to any point; the rectangle contained by the whole line thus produced, and the part of it produced, together with the square of half the line bisected, is equal to the square of the straight line, which is made up of the half and the part produced.
