Book I   Proposition 8
Therefore it is not possible that, if the base BC be applied to the base EF, the sides BA, AC should not coincide with ED, DF;
    they will therefore coincide,

    the angle BAC will also coincide with the angle EDF,
and
    will be equal to it.

Being what it was required to prove.
