Page 80 - If two triangles have two sides of one equal respectively to two sides of the other, but the included angle of the first greater than the included angle of the second, then the third side of the first is greater than the third side of the second.
Page 26 - The two pairs of angles 3 and 6, 4 and 5, are called alternate interior angles ; and the two pairs of angles if 1 and 8, 2 and 7, are called alternate exterior angles. The four pairs of angles 1 and 5, 2 and 6, 3 and 7, and 4 and 8 are called corresponding angles.
