; and cor-responding sides, i.e., those which are oppositeto equal angles, are the antecedents or con-sequents of the ratios. (Note: In the ratio a:b, a is called the antecedent,and b the consequent.) This is the most important proposition in Geometry:indeed, one of the most important results of… … 5. The result reached in the preceding article maybe demonstrated more generally as follows: Let ABC, AiBiCi be similar triangles, and let thembe placed so thatAB rests on AjB^,and AC on A^C^, asin the figure. ThenBC is parallel toBiCi. Suppose ABand AiBj commen-surable, and let ABcontain n units,…
