...as follows: "But those straight lines which, with another straight * aJriif/iare. * Ktnva.1 trmuu. line falling upon them, make the interior angles on the same side less than two right angles, do meet if continually produced." Now this is exactly a point that calls for proof. Proof was then,... | |
