PROP. VIII. THEOR.

If two triangles have two sides of the one respectively equal to two sides of the other, and also their bases equal; then the angles contained by their equal sides are also equal.

PROP. XIII. THEOR.

When a straight line standing upon another straight line makes angles with it; they are either two right angles, or together equal to two right angles.

COR.-Since the angles made at any point on one side of a straight line, are equal to two right angles; it is manifest that the angles at any point in a straight line, on both sides of it, or all the angles round a point, are together equal to four right angles.

PROP. XIV. THEOR.

If two straight lines, meeting a third straight line, at the same point, and at opposite sides of it, make with it the adjacent angles equal to two right angles; these straight lines lie in one continuous straight line.

PROP. XV. THEOR.

Where two straight lines intersect each other, the vertically opposite angles made by them are equal.
