The Law of Immeasurable Quantity


Notice law = known right angles makes known unknown forms,
Also Immeasurable= the known forms make a little door
drawing the same process of a segment,
making an unknown form.
Quantity is a known door, since two sides and the included angle are known (SAS).
We can derive other unknown forms of the law of Immeasurable quantity recognizing that the opposite is true for all three unknown forms.
Since, left and right equal known quantity, the known door included is the only known quantity.

Ridiculous! Found it in a trig book, talking of The Law of Cosines.
