PROP. XXXIV. THEOR.

Book XI.

THE bafes and altitudes of equal folid parallelepipeds, See N. are reciprocally proportional; and if the bafes and altitudes be reciprocally proportional, the folid parallelepipeds are equal.

Let AB, CD be equal folid parallelepipeds; their bafes are reciprocally proportional to their altitudes; that is, as the base EH is to the base NP, fo is the altitude of the folid CD to the altitude of the folid AB.

First, Let the infifting ftraight lines AG, EF, LB, HK; CM, NX, OD, PR be at right angles to the bafes. as the bafe EH to the

ther shall the folid AB be equal to the folid CD. but the folids are equal, by the hypothefis. therefore the altitude CM is not unequal to the altitude AG; that is, they are equal. wherefore as the bafe EH to the bafe NP, fo is CM to AG.

Next, let the bafes EH, NP not be equal, but EH greater than the other. fince then the folid AB is equal to the folid CD, CM is

and altitude CT. Because the folid AB is equal to the folid CD,

Book XI. therefore the folid AB is to the folid CV, as the folid CD to the ~ folid CV. but as the folid AB to the folid CV, fob is the base EH to the bafe NP; for the folds AB, CV are of the fame altitude; and as the folid CD to CV, fo is the base MP to the base PT, and fo is the ftraight line MC to CT; and CT is equal to AG. therefore as the bafe E to the bafe NP, fo is MC to AG. wherefore the bafcs of the folid parallelepipeds AB, CD are reciprocally proportional to their altitudes.

Let now the bafes of the folid parallelepipeds AB, CD be reciprocally proportional to their altitudes; viz. as the bafe EH to the bafe NP, fo the altitude

of the folid CD to the altitude of the folid AB; the folid AB is equal to the folid CD. let the infisting lines be, as before, at right angles to the bases. then,

if the base EH be equal to

the bafe NP, fince EH is

[ocr errors]

to NP, as the altitude of the folid CD is to the altitude of the folid c. A. 5. AB, therefore the altitude of CD is equal to the altitude of AB. but folid parallelepipeds upon equal bases, and of the fame altitude f. 31. 11. are equal f to one another; therefore the folid AB is equal to the folid CD.

But let the bafes EH, NP be unequal, and let EH be the greater of the two. therefore, fince as the bafe EH to the bafe NP, fo is CM the altitude of the

folid CD to AG the alti

tude of AB, CM is great

er than AG. again, take CT equal to AG, and complete, as before, the folid CV. and, because the bafe EH is to the

H

bafe NP, as CM to AG,

and that AG is equal to

CT, therefore the bafe EH is to the bafe NP, as MC to CT. but
as the bafe EH is to NP, fob is the folid AB to the folid CV; for
the folids AB, CV are of the fame altitude;
is the base MP to the bafe PT, and the folid

[blocks in formation]

and therefore as the folid AB to the folid CV, fo is the folid CD Book XI. to the folid CV; that is, each of the folids AB, CD has the fame ratio to the folid CV; and therefore the folid AB is equal to the folid CD.

Second general Cafe. Let the infifting ftraight lines FE, BL, GA, KH; XN, DO, MC, RP not be at right angles to the bafes of the folids; and from the points F, B, K, G; X, D, R, M draw perpendiculars to the planes in which are the bafes EH, NP, meeting those planes in the points S, Y, V, T ; Q, I, U, Z; and complete the folids FV, XU, which are parallelepipeds, as was proved in the laft part of Prop. 31ft of this Book. In this cafe likewife, if the folids AB, CD be equal, their bafes are reciprocally proportional to their altitudes, viz. the bafe EH to the bafe NP, as the altitude of the folid CD to the altitude of the folid AB. Becaufe the folid AB is equal to the folid CD, and that the folid BT is equal to the folid BA, for they are upon the fame bafe FK, and of the fame alti

tude; and that the folid DC is equal to the folid DZ, being upon the fame bafe X R, and of the fame altitude; therefore the folid BT is equal to the folid DZ. but the bafes are reciprocally proportional to the altitudes of equal folid parallelepipeds of which the infifting straight lines are at right angles to their bafes, as before was proved. therefore as the bafe FK to the bafe XR, fo is the altitude of the folid DZ to the altitude of the folid BT. and the base FK is equal to the base EH, and the base XR to the bafe NP. wherefore as the bafe EH to the base NP, fo is the altitude of the folid DZ to the altitude of the folid BT. but the altitudes of the folids DZ, DC, as alfo of the folids BT, BA are the fame. Therefore as the base EH to the bafe NP, fo is the altitude of the

Book XI. folid CD to the altitude of the folid AB; that is, the bafes of the folid parallelepipeds AB, CD are reciprocally proportional to their altitudes.

Next, Let the bafes of the folids AB, CD be reciprocally proportional to their altitudes, viz. the base EH to the bafe NP, as the altitude of the folid CD to the altitude of the folid AB; the folid AB is equal to the folid CD. the fame conftruction being made, becaufe as the base EH to the base NP, fo is the altitude of the folid CD to the altitude of the folid AB; and that the bafe EH is equal to the bafe FK; and NP to XR; therefore the bafe FK is to the base XR, as the altitude of the folid CD to the altitude of AB,

but the altitudes of the folids AB, BT are the fame, as alfo of CD and DZ; therefore as the base FK to the base XR, fo is the altitude of the folid DZ to the altitude of the folid BT. wherefore the bafes of the folids BT, DZ are reciprocally proportional to their altitudes; and their infifting ftraight lines are at right angles to the bafes; wherefore, as was before proved, the folid BT is equal to the folid DZ. but BT is equal to the folid BA, and DZ to the folid DC, 30. 11. because they are upon the fame bafes, and of the fame altitude. Therefore the folid AB is equal to the folid CD. Q. E. D.

IF from the vertices of two equal plane angles there be See N. drawn two straight lines elevated above the planes in which the angles are, and containing equal angles with the fides of those angles, each to each; and if in the lines above the planes there be taken any points, and from them perpendiculars be drawn to the planes in which the first named angles are; and from the points in which they meet the planes, ftraight lines be drawn to the vertices of the angles first named; thefe ftraight lines fhall contain equal angles with the ftraight lines which are above the planes of the angles.

Let BAC, EDF be two equal plane angles; and from the points A, D let the straight lines AG, DM be elevated above the planes of the angles, making equal angles with their fides, cach to cach; viz. the angle GAB equal to the angle MDE, and GAC to MDF; and in AG, DM let any points G, M be taken, and from them let perpendiculars GL, MN be drawn to the planes BAC, EDF meeting
