Side 29 - All the interior angles of any rectilineal figure, together with four right angles, are equal to twice as many right angles as the figure has sides.
Side 166 - The straight line joining the middle points of two sides of a triangle is parallel to the third side, and equal to half of it.
Side 168 - A point moves so that the difference of the squares of its distances from two fixed points is constant. Show that the locus is a straight line. Hint. Draw XX' through the fixed points, and YY/ through their middle point.
Side 168 - Show that the locus of a point such that the sum of the squares of its distances from two fixed points is constant, is a circle.
Side 168 - The sum of the squares of two sides of a triangle is equal to twice the square of half the third side, plus twice the square of the median drawn to the third side.
Side 127 - The area of a rectangle is equal to the product of its base and altitude.
Side 56 - BOC, inscribed in a segment less than a semicircle, is an obtuse angle ; for it is measured by half of the arc BAC, greater than a semi-circumference.
Side 1 - Things which are double of the same thing, are equal to each other. 7. Things which are halves of the same thing, are equal to each other. 8. The whole is greater than any of its parts. 9. The whole is equal to the sum of all its parts. 10. All right angles are equal to each other. II. From one point to another, only one straight line can be drawn.
Side 85 - Fig. 121. parallel to BC, the angles of the quadrilateral AEFD are equal to those of the quadrilateral ABCD; but the proportion of the sides is different. Also, without changing the four sides...
Side 101 - Scholium. The right-angled triangle is the only one in which the sum of the squares of two sides is equivalent to the square of the third ; for if the angle contained by the two sides is acute, the sum of their squares will be greater than the square of the opposite side ; if obtuse, it will be less.
