...for such a proposition as " My first penitent was a murderer " seems to be offered as adequate for " The three angles of every triangle are equal to two right angles ". Granting for the sake of argument that the first proposition really means that the same individual... | |

...geometry holds only on the assumption that the Constant is infinite. Only in this case is it true that the three angles of every triangle are equal to two right angles ; and this can easily be proved, as soon as we admit that the Constant is infinite." This document... | |

...up. Nothing is taken on trust ; every step is understood and commands our intellectual assent. That the three angles of every triangle are equal to two right angles is a proposition which cannot be denied by anyone who has assented to the definitions and axioms which... | |

...its defect from a right angle. 2. The supplement of an angle is its defect from two right angles. 3. The three angles of every triangle are equal to two right angles : hence the oblique angles of a right angled triangle are each other's complements. 4. The sum of the... | |

...good only under the presupposition, that the constant is infinitely great. Only then is it true, that the three angles of every triangle are equal to two right angles ; also this can be easily proven if one takes as given the proposition, that the constant is infinitely... | |

...certainty. In mathematical reasoning our knowledge is greater than our ignorance. When, you have proved that the three angles of every triangle are equal to two right angles , there is an end of doubt; because there are no materials for ignorance to work up into phantoms;... | |
