Book I   Proposition 26
BC was proved equal to EF.

But AB is also equal to DE; therefore
    the two sides AB, BC are equal to the two sides DE, EF respectively, and the angle ABC is equal to the angle DEF;
therefore
    the base AC is equal to the base DF, and the remaining angle BAC is equal to the remaining angle EDF. [I.4]

Being what it was required to prove.
