Proposition: Prop. 11.09: Lines Parallel to Same Line not in Same Plane are Parallel to each other

(Proposition 9 from Book 11 of Euclid's “Elements”)

(Straight-lines) parallel to the same straight line, and which are not in the same plane as it, are also parallel to one another.

• For let $AB$ and $CD$ each be parallel to $EF$, not being in the same plane as it.
• I say that $AB$ is parallel to $CD$.
