Side 18 - LET it be granted that a straight line may be drawn from any one point to any other point.
Side 17 - When equals are taken from unequals, the remainders are unequal. 6. Things which are double of the same thing, or equal things, are equal to each other.
Side 86 - III.), is a circle. If the plane pass through the centre, then, as every point in the surface of the sphere is equidistant from its centre, the section is a plane figure, every point of whose periphery is equidistant from a certain point within it, and the figure is therefore a circle. But if the plane do not pass through...
Side 26 - Therefore all the interior angles of the figure, together with four right angles, are equal to twice as many right angles as the figure has sides.
Side 114 - TO THEIR DIFFERENCE ; So IS THE TANGENT OF HALF THE SUM OF THE OPPOSITE ANGLES', To THE TANGENT OF HALF THEIR DIFFERENCE.

Side 64 - If from any point without a circle straight lines be drawn touching it, the angle contained by the tangents is double the angle contained by the straight line joining the points of contact and the diameter drawn through one of them.
Side 139 - Given the vertical angle, the difference of the two sides containing it, and the difference of the segments of the base made by a perpendicular from the vertex ; construct the triangle.
Side 86 - ... half a right angle, as the tangent of half the sum of the angles, at the base of the triangle to the tangent of half their difference.
