Side 48 - 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 45 - In any triangle, the sum of the two sides containing either angle, is to their difference, as the tangent of half the sum of the two other angles, to the tangent of half their difference.
Side 106 - The square described on the hypothenuse of a rightangled triangle is equal to the sum of the squares described on the other two sides.
Side 33 - THEOREM. If two angles of a triangle are equal, the sides opposite to them are also equal, and consequently, the triangle is isosceles.
