Page 6 - Things which are equal to the same thing are equal to one another. 2. If equals be added to equals, the wholes are equal. 3. If equals be taken from equals, the remainders are equal. 4. If equals be added to unequals, the wholes are unequal.
Page 86 - Three times the sum of the squares of the sides of a triangle is equal to four times the sum of the squares of the medians.
