and so also will AABC and AABL, and hence 

 manifestly 



BCL+ BLC+CBL=st. Z. 



However (by 31), the angle-sum of any tri- 124] 

 angle, in S, is &amp;lt;st.Z. 

 Therefore L falls on C. 



42. Let u be the supplement of the angle- 

 sum of the AABC, but v of ADEF; then is 

 :z;. 



For if / be the area of each 

 of the triangles ACG, GCH, 

 HCB, DFK, KFE; and 

 AABC=w./, and ADEF- 

 A~G H~^B n.p; and 5 the angle -sum of 

 any triangle equivalent to// 

 manifestly 



st. Z u-m.s ( m 1) st. Z = st. Z w(st. Z -5) ; 

 and u=m(st. ^- 5); and in like manner V 



Therefore AABC : ADEF= m : n=u\v. 



It is evidently also easily extended to the 

 case of the incommensurability of the triangles 

 ABC, DEF. 



In the same way is demonstrated that tri 

 angles on a sphere are as the excesses of the 

 sums of their angles above a st.&amp;lt;. 



If two angles of the spherical A are right, 

 the third z will be the said excess. But
