Book III   Proposition 1
For
    Suppose F is not the center,
but, if possible,
    let G be the center,
and
    let GA, GD, GB be joined.

Then, since AD is equal to DB, and DG is common,
    the two sides AD, DG are equal to the two sides BD, DG respectively;
and
    the base GA is equal to the base GB, for they are radii;
therefore
    the angle ADG is equal to the angle GDB. [I.8]
