For let any straight line / A B / set up on the straight line / C D / make the angles < C B A ) , < A B D ) ;
I say that the angles < C B A ) , < A B D ) are either two right angles or equal to two right angles.
Now, if the angle < C B A ) is equal to the angle < A B D ) ,
[G.33] they are
two right angles .
But, if not, let / B E / be drawn from the point B at right angles to / C D / ; [G.34]
therefore the angles < C B E ) , < E B D ) are two right angles .
Then, since the angle < C B E ) is equal to the two angles < C B A ) , < A B E ) ,
let the angle < E B D ) be added to each;
[G.36] therefore the angles
< C B E ) ,
< E B D ) are equal to the three angles
< C B A ) ,
< A B E ) ,
< E B D ) .
Again, since the angle < D B A ) is equal to the two angles < D B E ) , < E B A ) ,
let the angle < A B C ) be added to each;
[G.36] therefore the angles
< D B A ) ,
< A B C ) are equal to the three angles
< D B E ) ,
< E B A ) ,
< A B C ) .
But the angles < C B E ) , < E B D ) were also proved equal to the same three angles; and things which are equal to the same thing are also equal to one another; [G.16]
therefore the angles < C B E ) , < E B D ) are also equal to the angles < D B A ) , < A B C ) .
But the angles < C B E ) , < E B D ) are two right angles ;
therefore the angles < D B A ) , < A B C ) are also equal to two right angles.
Therefore etc.
