26 THEORY OF PARALLELS. If the point HT coincides with the middle point E of the side BO (ig. 3 11), only two equal rightangled triangles, AD) . and BDE, are made, by whose interchange equivalence of the surfaces of the triangle and the quadrilateral AFEC is established. If, finally, the point H falls outside the tri A ° ABC (Fig. 18), the perpendicular CG goes, Fre. 17. consequence, through the triangle, and so we over from the triangle ABC to the quadrilateral AFGC by adding triangle FAD —DBH, and thon taking away the triangle OGE Supposing in the spherical quadrilateral AFGC a great circlo through the points A and G, as also through F and ©, then ares between AG and FO equal one another (Theorem 15), conse also the triangles FAC and ACG be congruent (Theorem 15), an angle FAC equal the angle ACG. Honco follows, that in all the preceding cases, the sum of angles of the spherical triangle equals the sum of the two equ in the quadrilateral which are not the right angles. Therefore wo can, for every spherical triangle, in which the the three angles is S, find quadrilateral with equivalent which are two right angles and two equal perpendicular whore the two other angles are each 4S.
