Centennial reminder that proving picrel was a filter in Euclid's time

What are you trying to prove?

>> No.15006517

>>15006487
Proving what? That if α and β are equivalent then so are γ and δ?? Because that follows clearly.

>>15006513
You seriously haven't seen this before yet? It's like the first think you prove in gradeschool geometry. Did you grow up outside the West?

>>15006517
From Euclid's postulates only, prove that α = β and γ and δ. Some contructions are needed, but it's easy af.

And yet the “Bridge of Asses” filtered most would-be Geometers in Ancient Greece.

Forgot to add it's an isosceles triangle on top. Easy as fuck.

You need extra assumptions to prove a=b. The picture, as drawn, is insufficient to prove what you want.

Based. I feel like Euclid already.

Is this proof too long? I mean, he gave us nothing

Nope, this is fine. Congratulations Anon.

Oh you want a proof of the bridge of asses. This should suffice.

Thank you!
