Two polygons are mutually equilateral, when they have their sides equal each to each, and placed in the same order : that is to say, when following their bounding lines in the same direction, the first side of the one is equal to the first side of the other, the second to the second, the third to the third, and so on. 22. Two polygons are mutually equiangular, when...
