If two triangles have the two angles equal to two angles respectively, and one side equal to one side, namely, either the side adjoining the equal angles, or that subtending one of the equal angles, they will also have the remaining sides equal to the remaining sides and the remaining angle to the remaining angle. Proposition 26 part 2, angle angle side theorem duration. Euclids book on division of figures project gutenberg. If a triangle has two angles and one side equal to two angles and one side of another triangle, then both triangles are equal. Euclid s elements all thirteen books complete in one volume, based on heaths translation, green lion press. From these axioms he proves various propositions, 47 in book i, by means of logic. If two triangles have the two angles equal to two angles respectively, and one side equal to one side, namely, either the side adjoining the equal angles, or that subtending one of the equal angles, they will also have the remaining sides equal to. To a given infinite straight line, from a given point which is not on it, to draw a perpendicular straight line.
If two triangles have two angles equal to two angles respectively, and one side equal to one side, namely, either the side adjoining the equal angles, or that opposite one of the equal angles, then the remaining sides equal the remaining sides and the remaining angle equals the remaining angle. The three statements differ only in their hypotheses which are easily seen to be equivalent with the help of proposition i. Book 9 book 9 euclid propositions proposition 1 if two. In one, the known side lies between the two angles, in the other, the known side lies opposite one of the angles.
This proposition states two useful minor variants of the previous proposition. Numbers, magnitudes, ratios, and proportions in euclids elements. With centre a and distance ab let the circle bcd be described. Books ixiii complete and unabridged, 2006 translated by. A line drawn from the centre of a circle to its circumference, is called a radius. Use of proposition 28 this proposition is used in iv.
