INow by construction the angles C,C^H, A^A^H,, are equal, and as the sides aboutthese angles are proportional, in the triangles C^C^H^, A^A^M^, therefore these trianglesare similar, and the angle A^H„A^ :^ the angle C^H„C„; consequently the threepoints… … 795 [5994] (70) (71) (T2) (73) (74) From the above construction, it is also evident, that the line h^A.. is equal and parallelto a,.^, ; and h^C„, equal and parallel to c^C^; so that if the lines ^j./2,, A, C, be (S)continued infinitely, they will represent the projections of the lines liA, hC…
