Página 30 - THEOR. If a straight line fall upon two parallel straight lines, it will make the alternate angles equal, the exterior angle equal to the interior opposite one, and the two interior angles on the same side together equal to two right angles. • Let the straight line EFG fall upon the parallels AB and CD ; the alternate angles AGF and DFG are equal, the
