IF two triangles have two sides of the one equalto two sides of the other, each to each; and havelikewise the angles contained by those sides equalto one another; they shall likewise have their bases,or third sides, equal; and the two triangles shall beequal; and their other angles shall be equal, each toeach, viz. those to which the equal sides are opposite. Let ABC, DEF be two triangles which have the two sidesAB, AC equal to the two sides DE, DF, each to each, c 1. Ax.
