A C is the one opposite, because they are apon the same base, andtheir insisting straight lines AF, AO, CD, CR; LM, LP, BH,BQ are in the same straight lines FR, MQ: and the solid CP isequal » to the solid CN ; for they are upon the same base ACBL,and their insisting straight lines AO, AG, LP, LN; CR, CE,BQ, BK are in the same straight lines OL, RK; therefore thesolid CM is equal to the solid CN. Wherefore, solid parallelepi-peds, &c. Q. E. D. PROP. XXXL THEOR. SeeN. SOLID parallelepipeds which are upon equal bases,and of the same altitude, are equal to one another. Let the solid parallelepipeds AE, CF be upon equal bases AB,CD, and be of the same altitude ; the solid AE is equal to the so-lid CF. First, Let the insisting straight lines be at right angles to thebases AB, CD, and let the bases be
