The First Six Books of the Elements of Euclid

by Euclid; John Casey

35. If O be the point of concurrence of the bisectors of the angles of the triangle ABC, and if AO produced meet BC in D, and from O, OE be drawn perpendicular to BC; prove that the angle BOD is equal to the angle COE.

36. If the exterior angles of a triangle be bisected, the three external triangles formed on the sides of the original triangle are equiangular.

37. The angle made by the bisectors of two consecutive angles of a convex quadrilateral is equal to half the sum of the remaining angles; and the angle made by the bisectors of two opposite angles is equal to half the difference of the two other angles.

38. If in the construction of the figure, Proposition xlvii., EF, KG be joined,

39. Given the middle points of the sides of a convex polygon of an odd number of sides, construct the polygon.

40. Trisect a quadrilateral by lines drawn from one of its angles.

41. Given the base of a triangle in magnitude and position and the sum of the sides; prove that the perpendicular at either extremity of the base to the adjacent side, and the external bisector of the vertical angle, meet on a given line perpendicular to the base.

42. The bisectors of the angles of a convex quadrilateral form a quadrilateral whose opposite angles are supplemental. If the first quadrilateral be a parallelogram, the second is a rectangle; if the first be a rectangle, the second is a square.

43. The middle points of the sides AB, BC, CA of a triangle are respectively D, E, F; DG is drawn parallel to BF to meet EF; prove that the sides of the triangle DCG are respectively equal to the three medians of the triangle ABC.
