Page 23 - If two triangles have two angles of the one equal to two angles of the other, each to each, and one side equal to one side, viz.
Page 34 - If there be two straight lines, one of which is divided into any number of parts, the rectangle contained by the two straight lines is equal to the rectangles contained by the undivided line, and the several parts of the divided line.
Page 2 - When a straight line standing on another straight line makes the adjacent angles equal to one another, each of the angles is called a right angle ; and the straight line which stands on the other is called a perpendicular to it.
Page 122 - If two triangles have one angle of the one equal to one angle of the other and the sides about these equal angles proportional, the triangles are similar.
Page 5 - LET it be granted that a straight line may be drawn from any one point to any other point.
Page 3 - A circle is a plane figure contained by one line, which is called the circumference, and is such that all straight lines drawn from a certain point within the figure to the circumference, are equal to one another.
Page 135 - Two triangles, which have an angle of the one equal to an angle of the other, and the sides containing those angles proportional, are similar.
