...impoffible to draw any concluiion, with refpect to real objects : thus, when I have demonftrated that the three angles of a triangle are together equal to two right angles, this is a property belonging only to an abilract triangle, and not at all to one really exifting. But... | |

...has been before proved that the angle ADe is an acute angle of 90 degrees, whence it follows that as the three angles of a triangle are together equal to two right angles, the remaining angle fh D must likewise be an acute angle of 90 degrees, and, as before, since the two augles/DA... | |
