After reading this, Wallis then wrote about his ideas as he developed his own thoughts about the postulate, trying to prove it also with similar triangles.

:Assuming you have a way to construct the angles, you can make a similar triangle to the one you want, and find the perimeter of that.

If this assumption is violated, the triangles will not be similar and the ratio and proportion relationship of the sides of similar triangles will not apply.

There is a dark triangular area with its base on the outer margin near the hind angle and a similar triangle with its base on the costal margin.

The first bit was straightforward enough ( using the theorem of similar triangles ) and the answer I got was supported by a number of other Internet sources.
37.
It is possible to choose any projection plane parallel to the equator ( except the South pole ) : the figures will be proportional ( property of similar triangles ).
38.
Think about a similar triangle twice as big ( labelling the distances as x = x _ 1-x _ 0 and y = y _ 1-y _ 0 for compactness ).

A similar triangle to this, called the " volta do mar " was already being used by the Portuguese, before Christopher Columbus'voyage, to sail to the Canary Islands and the Azores.

Since the center of the robot is equidistant to either wheel, and as they share the angle formed at the right wheel, triangles " A " and " B " are similar triangles.
