elem.6.21

与同一直线形相似的直线形彼此相似。

A B C
fig-1

若两个直线形 A、B 都与同一直线形 C 相似,则 A 与 B 互相相似。

  1. For let each of the rectilineal figures A, B be similar to C; I say that A is also similar to B.

    设直线形A和B均与C相似。

  2. For, since A is similar to C, it is equiangular with it and has the sides about the equal angles proportional.

    由于A与C相似,故A与C等角且对应边成比例。

  3. [VI. Def. 1] Again, since B is similar to C, it is equiangular with it and has the sides about the equal angles proportional.

    同理,B与C相似,故B与C等角且对应边成比例。

  4. 因此A与B等角,且通过C传递对应边比例,故A与B相似。
