Book III   Proposition 31
Next, since in the triangle ABC
    the two angles ABC, BAC are less than two right angles, [I.17]
and
    the angle BAC is a right angle,
the angle ABC is less than a right angle;
and
    it is the angle in the segment ABC greater than the semicircle.

Again being what it was required to prove.
