Proof: (Euclid)
(related to Proposition: 1.43: Complementary Segments of Parallelograms)
- For since ABCD is a parallelogram, and AC its diagonal, triangle ABC is equal to triangle ACD [Prop. 1.34].
- Again, since EH is a parallelogram, and AK is its diagonal, triangle AEK is equal to triangle AHK [Prop. 1.34].
- So, for the same (reasons), triangle KFC is also equal to (triangle) KGC.
- Therefore, since triangle AEK is equal to triangle AHK, and KFC to KGC, triangle AEK plus KGC is equal to triangle AHK plus KFC.
- And the whole triangle ABC is also equal to the whole (triangle) ADC.
- Thus, the remaining complement BK is equal to the remaining complement KD.
- Thus, for any parallelogrammic figure, the complements of the parallelograms about the diagonal are equal to one another.
- (Which is) the very thing it was required to show.
