...This, however, will become more manifest in diagrams. For instance, [let it be proposed to demonstrate] that the angles at the base of an isosceles triangle are equal *. Let the lines A, B, be drawn to the centre of a circle. If, therefore, he assumes that the angle...

...; and that thrce is the half of six. This immediate perception is immediate and intuitive judgment. That the angles at the base of an isosceles triangle are equal, I perccive by a process of reasoning, in which it will be acknowledged there is judgment. Another way...

...theorems, subsequently I 2 incorporated with the immortal work of Euclid, discover, ii by him : — that the angles at the base of an isosceles triangle are equal ; that a circle is bisected by its diameter; that the vertical angles of two intersecting- lines are equal...

...that any particular action isßt, and yet fit for no particular purpose, is just as absurd as to му that the angles at the base of an isosceles triangle are equal but neither to one another, nor to any other angles ; and we may with no less propriety talk, of the...

...incorporated into the Elements of Euclid have been attributed to him, particularly those in which it is proved that a "circle is bisected by its diameter; that the...the base of an isosceles triangle are equal; that vertical angles are equal; and that the angle in a semicircle is a right angle." These, though amongst...

...properties of triangles. We will begin therefore, if you please, at the Asses' Bridge. Do you think that the angles at the base of an isosceles triangle are equal, or not? A. I see no reason why they should be otherwise; for, being opposite to equal sides, both angles...

...without stating what it is fit for — an absurdity as great, says the objector, as it would be to say that " the angles at the base of an isosceles triangle are equal without adding to one another, or to any other angle." Dr. Brown also, in arguing against this doctrine,...

...to a conviction of eternity. The testimony of sense, after repeated trials, may induce the belief, that the angles at the base of an isosceles triangle are equal ; but reason proceeds farther, and demonstrates, that they must be equal. In like manner, the phenomena...

...to geometry than to the sciences generally. He demonstrated the properties of the circle, discovered that the angles at the base of an isosceles triangle are equal, and that the two opposite angles of a right line cutting another are equal. He also taught the Egyptians...
