I. 13.] The adjacent angles which one straight lino makes with another straight hne on one side of itare togetherequal to two right angles. 10 Cor. 1. If two straight lines cut one another, the four angles so formed are together equal to four right angles. 11 Cor. 2. When any number of straight lines meet at a point, thesumof the consecutive anglessoformed isequal to four right angles. 11 Cor. 3. (i) Supplements of the same angle are equal. (ii) Complements of the same angle are equal. 1 Theorem2. [Euc. I. 14.] If, ata point in a straightline, two other straight lines, on opposite sides of it, make the adja- cent angles together equal to two right angles, then these two straight lines are in one and the same straight line. 12 Theorem 3. [Euc. I. 15.] If two straight lines cut one an- other, the vertically opposite angles are equal. 14 Triangles. Definitions Ifl The Comparison of Two Triangles 17 Theorem 4. [Euc. I. 4.] If two triangles have two sides of theoneequal to two sidesof the other, each to each, and the angles included by those sides equal, then the triangles are equal in all respects. 18 Theorem .5.

I. 19.] Ifoneangleofa triangleisgreater than another, then the .side opposite to the greater angle is greater than the side opposite to the less. 31 Theorem 11. [Euc. I. 20.] Any two .sides of a triangle arc together greater than the third side. 32 Theorem 12. Ofallstraight linesfromagivenpoint toagiven straight line the perpendicular is the least. 33 Cor. 1. If OC is the shortest straight line from O to the straight line AB, then OC is perpendicular to AB. 33 CoR. 2. Two obliques, OP, OQ, which cut AB at e()uil distances from C the foot of the perpendicular, are equal. 33 Cor. 3. Of two obliques OQ, OR, if Ofi cuts .l/i at the greater distance from C the foot of the perpendicular, then OR is greater than OQ. 33 Parallels. Playfairs Axiom 35 Theorem 13. [Euc. I. 27 and 28.] If a straight line cuts two other straight lines so as to make (i) the alternate angles • equal, or (ii) an exterior angle equal to the interior opposite angle on the same side of the cutting line, or (iii) the interior angles on the same side equal to two richt angles; then in each case the two straight lines are parallel. 36 Theorem 14.

I. 32.] The three angles of a triangle are together equal to two right angles. 42 CoR. 1. All the interior angles of any rectilineal figure, together with four right angles, are equal to twice as man}' right angles as the figure has sides. 44 CoR. 2. Ifthesidesofa rectilineal figure, whichhasnore- entrant angle, are produced in order, then all the exterior angles so formed are together equal to four right angles. 46 Theorem 17. (Euc.

Two right-angled triangles which have their hypotenuses equal, and one side of one equal to one side of the other, are equal in all respects. 51 Theorem 19. [Euc. I. 24.] If two triangleshave two sidesof the one equal to two sides of the other, each to each, but the angle included by the two sidesofone greater than the angle included by the corresponding sides of the other then the ; base of that which has the greater angle is greater than the base of the other. 52 .53 Converse of Theorem 19 . .' . . .
