PART SECOND.
AXIOMS AND THEOREMS.
AXIOMS ILLUSTRATED.
AXIOM 1.
The triangle A is equal to the triangle C.
The triangle B is also equal to the triangle C.
What do you think of the two triangles A and B? Why?
[Illustration]
_If two things are separately equal to the same thing, they are equal
to each other._
AXIOM 2.
The square A is equal to the square B.
To the rectangle C add the square A, and we have an L pointing in what
direction?
To the same rectangle C add the square B, and we have an L pointing in
what direction?
[Illustration]
Which is larger, the L pointing to the left, or that pointing to the
right?
To what same thing did you add two equals?
What two equals did you add to it?
What was the first sum?
The second?
What do you think of the two sums?
_If equals be added to the same thing, the sums will be equal._
AXIOM 3.
[Illustration]
The square A is equal to the square B.
From the inverted T take away the square A, and we have an L pointing
in what direction?
From the same Fig. T take away the square B, and we have an L pointing
in what direction?
Which is larger, the L pointing to the right, or that pointing to the
left?
What two equal things did we take away from the same thing?
From what same thing did we take them away?
What did we find true of the two remainders?
_If equals be taken from the same thing, the remainders will be
equal._
AXIOM 4.
[Illustration]
The rectangle 1 2 is equal to the rectangle 1 3.
From the rectangle 1 2 take away the square A, and what rectangle
remains?
From the rectangle 1 3 take away the same square A, and what rectangle
remains?
Which is greater, the rectangle B, or the rectangle C?
What same thing did we take away from equals?
From what did we first take it?
What remained?
From what did we next take it?
What remained?
What did we find true of the two remainders?
_If the same thing be taken from equals, the remainders will be
equal._
AXIOM 5.
_If equals be added to equals, the sums will be equal._
AXIOM 6.
_If equals be subtracted from equals, the remainders will be equal._
AXIOM 7.
_If the halves of two things are equal, the wholes will be equal._
AXIOM 8.
_Every Whole is equal to the sum of all its parts._
AXIOM 9.
