Book VI   Proposition 6
    ED is equal to DG, and DF is common;
therefore
    the two sidees ED, DF are equal to the two sides GD, DF;
and
    the angle EDF is equal to the angle GCF;
therefore
    the base EF is equal to the base GF,
and
    the triangle DEF is equal to the triangle DGF,
and
    and the remaining angles will be equal to the remaining angles, namely those which the equal sides subtend. [I.4]
