Page 84 - ... parallelograms match in length. It is then easy enough to show that we have a complete system of congruence for any one system of parallel stretches in space. This means that if there are any two stretches either on the same straight line or on parallel straight lines, we have a definitely determined numerical ratio of the length of one to the length of the other. But we cannot go further and compare the lengths of two stretches which are not parallel, unless we introduce some additional principle...
