Geometry -- Study and teaching
See now if you can understand the following demonstration:—
DEMONSTRATION.
We wish to prove that
_Any two adjacent angles are equal to two right angles._
Let the two straight lines _a b_, _m n_, intersect each other in the
point _c_. (DIAGRAM 30.)
Then will any two adjacent angles, as Green, Red, be equal to two
right angles?
For, from the point _c_, draw the straight line _c d_ so as to make
the angles _a c d_, _d c b_, right angles.
The adjacent angles Green, Red, are equal to all the angular space on
the line _a b_.
The right angles _a c d_, _d c b_, are also equal to all the angular
space on the line _a b_.
Therefore the adjacent angles Green, Red, are equal to two right
angles.
TEST QUESTIONS.
To what same thing did you find two things equal?
What did you first see equal to it?
What did you next see equal to it?
Then what new thing did you find true?
What axiom did you make use of?

TEST LESSON.
By means of Fig. A,—
1. Prove that the adjacent angles Green, Red, are equal to two right
angles.
2. Prove that the adjacent angles Blue, Yellow, are equal to two right
angles.
By means of Fig. B,—
3. Prove that the adjacent angles Green, Red, are equal to two right
angles.

By means of Fig. C,—
5. Prove that the adjacent angles Red, Blue, are equal to two right
angles.
6. Prove that the adjacent angles Green, Yellow, are equal to two
right angles.
7. Give the preceding demonstrations again, but name the angles by
their letters instead of by their colors.
