Page xiii - That, if a straight line falling on two straight lines makes the interior angles on the same side less than two right angles, the two straight lines, if produced indefinitely, meet on that side on which are the angles less than the two right angles.
Page 58 - The sum of the lengths of any two sides of a triangle is greater than the length of the third side.
Page 48 - The SAS Postulate: Given a correspondence between two triangles (or between a triangle and itself). If two sides and the included angle of the first triangle are congruent to the corresponding parts of the second triangle, then the correspondence is a congruence.
Page 4 - the best way to explain it is to do it." (And, as you might like to try the thing yourself some winter day, I will tell you how the Dodo managed it.) First it marked out a race-course, in a sort of circle, ("the exact shape doesn't matter," it said,) and then all the party were placed along the course, here and there. There was no "One, two...
Page 61 - If two sides of one triangle are equal to two sides of a second triangle and the included angle of the first is greater than the included angle of the second, then the third side of the first triangle is greater than the third side of the second.
Page 294 - A median of a triangle is a line which joins a vertex of the triangle to the midpoint of the opposite side. Let ABC be any triangle, and let a, b and c be position vectors, of A, B and C relative to some fixed origin.
