If one side of a triangle be produced, the exterior angle is equal to the two interior opposite angles, and the three angles of any triangle are together equal to two right angles. If one angle of a triangle be double the other, the smaller side is equal to the difference of the segments of the base made by the perpendicular from the vertex. 11. In every triangle the square on a side opposite an acute angle is less than the sum of the squares on the sides containing that angle by twice the rectangle contained by one of these sides and the projection upon it of the other. The sum of the squares on the diagonals of a parallelogram is equal to the sum of the squares on the sides. 12. The opposite angles of every quadrilateral inscribed in a circle are together equal to two right angles. ABC is a triangle: AD, BE are perpendicular to BC, AC re spectively prove that the triangle CDE is equiangular to the triangle ABC. 13. If through the vertices of a triangle ABC there be drawn three parallel straight lines, AD, BE, CF, to meet the opposite sides or sides produced in D, E, F, then the area of the triangle DEF is double that of ABC.
