, that is, to LN. And in the isosceles tri-angles ABC, MXL, because the angle ABC is greater than theangle MXL, therefore the angle MLXat the base is greater (32. 1.)than the angle ACB at the base. For the same reason, becausethe angle GHK, or CBP, is greater than the angle LXN, theangle XLN is… … greater than the angle ACP, the base R MN is greater (24. 1.) than the baseAP. And MN is equal to DF,-therefore also DF is greater thanAP. Again, because DE, EF areequal to AB, BP, but the base DFgreater than the base AP, the angleDEF is greater (25. 1.) than the an-gle ABP. And ABP is equal to…
