Book III   Proposition 20
For
    let AE be joined and drawn through to F.

Then, since
    EA is equal to EB,
    the angle EAB is also equal to the angle EBA; [I.5]
therefore
    the angles EAB, EBA are double of the angle EAB.

But
    the angle BEF is equal to the angles EAB, EBA; [I.32]
therefore
    the angle BEF is also double of the angle EAB.
