DF is equal to AC ; therefore , the point F will fall on C , and the third side EF , will coincide with the third side BC ( Ax . 11. ) : therefore , the triangle EDF is equal to the triangle BAC ( Ax . 13. ) . Cor .

Let ABC be a triangle : then will the sum of two of its sides , as AC , CB , be greater than the third side AB . For the straight line AB is the shortest distance between the points A and B ( Def . 3. ) ; hence AC + CB is greater A.
