Thus the relation of the two ratios can be expressed interms of the distances from… … Thus although the relative position of three points on aline can be altered by projection to any desired extent, theposition of any fourth point D is reoulated by the fact that .,., : ..,, is unalterable by projection. This is a combination of lengths AB, etc. and therefore depends on metric…
