N any isosceles triangle if the equal sides be produced, the external angles at the base are equal, and the internal angles at the base are also equal.
Produce , and (post. 2.), take = , (pr. 3.); draw and .
Then in and we have, = (const.), common to both, and = (hyp.) ∴ = , = and = (pr. 4.).
Again in and , we have = , ∴ = and = (pr. 4.) but = , ∴ = (ax. 3.)
