A.B. and C.F. are twoo gemowe lines, betweene which there be made two triangles, A.D.E. and D.E.B, so that D.E, is the common ground line to them bothe. wherfore it doth folow, that those two triangles A.D.E. and D.E.B. are equall eche to other. _The xxviij. Theoreme._ All triangles that haue like long ground lines, and bee made betweene one paire of gemow lines, are equall togither. _Example._ Example of this Theoreme you may see in the last figure, where as sixe triangles made betwene those two gemowe lines A.B. and C.F, the first triangle is A.C.D, the seconde is A.D.E, the thirde is A.D.B, the fourth is A.B.E, the fifte is D.E.B, and the sixte is B.E.F, of which sixe triangles, A.D.E. and D.E.B. are equall, bicause they haue one common grounde line. And so likewise A.B.E. and A.B.D, whose commen grounde line is A.B, but A.C.D. is equal to B.E.F, being both betwene one couple of parallels, not bicause thei haue one ground line, but bicause they haue their ground lines equall, for C.D. is equall to E.F, as you may declare thus. C.D, is equall to A.B. (by the foure and twenty Theoreme) for thei are two contrary sides of one lykeiamme. A.C.D.B, and E.F by the same theoreme, is equall to A.B, for thei ar the two y^e contrary sides of the likeiamme, A.E.F.B, wherfore C.D. must needes be equall to E.F. like wise the triangle A.C.D, is equal to A.B.E, bicause they ar made betwene one paire of parallels and haue their groundlines like, I meane C.D. and A.B. Againe A.D.E, is equal to eche of them both, for his ground line D.E, is equall to A.B, inso muche as they are the contrary sides of one likeiamme, that is the long square A.B.D.E. And thus may you proue the equalnes of all the reste. _The xxix. Theoreme._ Al equal triangles that are made on one grounde line, and rise one waye, must needes be betwene one paire of parallels. _Example._ Take for example A.D.E, and D.E.B, which (as the xxvij. conclusion dooth proue) are equall togither, and as you see, they haue one ground line D.E. And againe they rise towarde one side, that is to say, vpwarde toward the line A.B, wherfore they must needes be inclosed betweene one paire of parallels, which are heere in this example A.B. and D.E. _The thirty Theoreme._ Equal triangles that haue their ground lines equal, and be drawẽ toward one side, ar made betwene one paire of paralleles. _Example._
