Book IV   Proposition 3
But
    the angles DEG, DEF are also equal to two right angles; [I.13]
therefore
    the angles AKB, AMB are equal to the angles DEG, DEF,
of which
    the angle AKB is equal to the angle DEG;
therefore
    the angle AMB which remains is equal to the angle DEF whcih remains.

Similarly it can be proved that
    the angle CNB is also equal to the angle DFE.
