When is a straight line said to be placed in a circle'?

2. The angles at the base of an isosceles triangle are equal to one another; and if the equal sides be produced the angles on the other side of the base shall be equal to one another.

3. If a straight line be divided into any two parts, the squares on the whole line and on one of the parts are equal to twice the rectangle contained by the whole and that part, together with the square on the other part.

4. The straight line drawn at right angles to the diameter of a circle from the extremity of it falls without the circle; and no straight line can be drawn from the extremity, between that straight line and the circumference, so as not to cut the circle.

5. Describe an isosceles triangle, having each of the angles at the base double of the third angle.

6. If a straight line be drawn parallel to one of the sides of a triangle, it shall cut the other sides, or those sides produced, proportionally; and if the sides, or the sides produced, be cut proportionally, the straight line which joins the points of section shall be parallel to the remaining side of the triangle.

7. When is the first of four magnitudes said to have the same ratio to the second which the third has to the fourth?

8. Parallelograms on equal bases, and between the same parallels, are equal to one another.

9. In obtuse-angled triangles, if a perpendicular be drawn from either of the acute angles to the opposite side produced, the square on the side subtending the obtuse angle is greater than the squares on the sides containing the obtuse angle by twice the rectangle contained by the side on which, when produced, the perpendicular falls and the straight line intercepted without the triangle between the perpendicular and the obtuse angle.

10. From a given circle cut off a segment containing an angle equal to a given rectilineal angle.

11. Describe a circle about a given equilateral and equiangular pentagon.

12. Equal triangles which have one angle of the one equal to one angle of the other, have their sides about the equal angles reciprocally proportional; and triangles which have one angle of the one equal to one angle of the other, and their sides about the equal angles reciprocally proportional, are equal to one another.
