Pythagoras was also the first that observed that relation of lines called their incommensurability as that of the diagonal of a square to its side , and invented the five regular solids afterwards called the Platonic bodies .

Seite 43 - If two triangles have two sides and the included angle of the one, equal to two sides and the included angle of the other, each to each, the two triangles will be equal.
Seite 46 - Any two angles of a triangle are together less than two right angles.
Seite 37 - The angles which one straight line makes with another upon one tide of it, are either two right angles, or are together equal to two right angles. Let the straight line AB make with CD, upon one side of it the angles CBA, ABD ; these are either two right angles, or are together equal to two right angles. For, if the angle CBA be equal to ABD, each of them is a right angle (Def.
Seite 57 - Through a given point to draw a straight line parallel to a given straight line, Let A be the given point, and BC the given straight line : it is required to draw through the point A a straight line parallel to BC.
Seite 38 - ... in one and the same straight line. At the point B in the straight line AB, let the two straight lines BC, BD upon the opposite sides of AB, make the adjacent angles ABC, ABD, equal together to two right angles. BD is in the same straight line with CB.
Seite 68 - 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.
Seite 34 - LET it be granted that a straight line may be drawn from any one point to any other point.
Seite 64 - Parallelograms upon the same base, and between the same parallels, are equal to one another.
Seite 46 - If one side of a triangle be produced, the exterior angle is greater than either of the interior, and opposite angles.
Seite 34 - Things which are equal to the same thing are also equal to one another. 2. If equals be added to equals, the wholes are equal. 3. If equals be subtracted from equals, the remainders are equal.
