...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...

...to the two angles H i A and '-A HA i ; and because the vertical angles A v H and iv E are equal, and that the three angles of every triangle are equal to two right angles, therefore the two angles VIE and s EH are, together, equal to the two angles AH v and HA i,...

...circumstance. If then we can only enunciate, but not conceive, a general proposition, we can never be certain that the three angles of every triangle are equal to two right angles, until it has been demonstrated of triangles of every variety of figure ; and before this can...

...The reason of this construction is plain, .. ~~r from Prop. XXXII., Book I., Euclid, which asserts that the three angles of every triangle are equal to two right angles; and from Prop. XIII., Book I., which asserts that the anglet which one straight line mates...

...there would be no moral discipline in believing religious truths, any more than there is in believing that the three angles of every triangle are equal to two right angles, or any other proposition in Euclid. And in making our spiritual life one of faith, God has...

...to say, to a little more or less, but never be perfect exactness. Consequently we could not assert that the three angles of every triangle are equal to two right angles ; all that we could say would be, that so far as our experience goes, we have observed that...

...geometry ; he proceeded till he arrived at a proposition similar to the thirty-second of Euclid, viz., that the three angles of every triangle are equal to two right angles. While engaged with this theorem, he was surprised by his father, who, on learning the object...
