PROPOSITION XXVI.

If two triangles have two angles of the one equal to two angles of the other, each to each, and one side equal to one side, viz., either the sides adjacent to the equal angles in each, or the sides opposite to them; then shall the other sides be equal, each to each, and also the third angle of the one equal to the third angle of the other.

If two triangles have two sides of the one equal to two sides of the other, each to each, but the base of one greater than the base of the other; the angle contained by the sides of the one which has the greater base, shall be greater than the angle contained by the sides, equal to them, of the other.

If two triangles have two sides of the one equal to two sides of the other, each to each, but the angle ntained by the two sides of one of them greater than the angle contained by the two sides equal to them, of e other; the base of that which has the greater angle, shall be greater than the base of the other.
