Book III   Proposition 26
And, since the angle at A is equal to the angle at D,
    the segment BAC is similar to the segment EDF; [III.Def.11]
and they are upon equal straight lines.

But similar segments of circles on equal straight lines are equal to one another [III.24]
therefore
    the segment BAC is equal to EDF.
