Proposition: Prop. 12.05: Sizes of Tetrahedra of Same Height are as Bases

Euclid's Formulation

Pyramids which are of the same height, and have triangular bases, are to one another as their bases. * Let there be pyramids of the same height whose bases (are) the triangles $ABC$ and $DEF$, and apexes the points $G$ and $H$ (respectively). * I say that as base $ABC$ is to base $DEF$, so pyramid $ABCG$ (is) to pyramid $DEFH$.
