ἐπίπεδος ἐπιφάνειά ἐστιν , ἥτις ἐξ ἴσου ταῖς ἐφ᾽ ἑαυτῆς εὐθείαις κεῖται .

ὅταν δὲ αἱ περιέχουσαι τὴν γωνίαν γραμμαὶ εὐθεῖαι ὦσιν , εὐθύγραμμος καλεῖται γωνία .
ὅταν δὲ εὐθεῖα ἐπ᾽ εὐθεῖαν σταθεῖσα τὰς ἐφεξῆς γωνίας ἴσας ἀλλήλαις ποιῇ , ὀρθὴ ἑκατέρα τῶν ἴσων γωνιῶν ἐστι , καὶ ἐφεστηκυῖα εὐθεῖα κάθετος καλεῖται , ἐφ᾽ ἣν ἐφέστηκεν .

ἡμικύκλιον δέ ἐστι τὸ περιεχόμενον σχῆμα ὑπό τε τῆς διαμέτρου καὶ τῆς ἀπολαμβανομένης ὑπ᾽ αὐτῆς περιφερείας . κέντρον δὲ τοῦ ἡμικυκλίου τὸ αὐτό , καὶ τοῦ κύκλου ἐστίν .
σχήματα εὐθύγραμμά ἐστι τὰ ὑπὸ εὐθειῶν περιεχόμενα , τρίπλευρα μὲν τὰ ὑπὸ τριῶν , τετράπλευρα δὲ τὰ ὑπὸ τεσσάρων , πολύπλευρα δὲ τὰ ὑπὸ πλειόνων τεσσάρων εὐθειῶν περιεχόμενα .
τῶν δὲ τριπλεύρων σχημάτων ἰσόπλευρον μὲν τρίγωνόν ἐστι τὸ τὰς τρεῖς ἴσας ἔχον πλευράς , ἰσοσκελὲς δὲ τὸ τὰς δύο μόνας ἴσας ἔχον πλευράς , σκαληνὸν δὲ τὸ τὰς τρεῖς ἀνίσους ἔχον πλευράς .

παράλληλοί εἰσιν εὐθεῖαι , αἵτινες ἐν τῷ αὐτῷ ἐπιπέδῳ οὖσαι καὶ ἐκβαλλόμεναι εἰς ἄπειρον ἐφ᾽ ἑκάτερα τὰ μέρη ἐπὶ μηδέτερα συμπίπτουσιν ἀλλήλαις .
A point is that which has no part .
A line is breadthless length .
The extremities of a line are points .
A straight line is a line which lies evenly with the points on itself .
A surface is that which has length and breadth only .
The extremities of a surface are lines .
A plane surface is a surface which lies evenly with the straight lines on itself .
A plane angle is the inclination to one another of two lines in a plane which meet one another and do not lie in a straight line .
And when the lines containing the angle are straight , the angle is called rectilineal .
urn : cts : greekLit : tlg1799 . tlg001 . heath : 1 . def . 10 When a straight line set up on a straight line makes the adjacent angles equal to one another , each of the equal angles is right , and the straight line standing on the other is called a perpendicular to that on which it stands .
An obtuse angle is an angle greater than a right angle .
An acute angle is an angle less than a right angle .
A boundary is that which is an extremity of anything .
A figure is that which is contained by any boundary or boundaries .
A circle is a plane figure contained by one line such that all the straight lines falling upon it from one point among those lying within the figure are equal to one another ;
And the point is called the centre of the circle .
A diameter of the circle is any straight line drawn through the centre and terminated in both directions by the circumference of the circle , and such a straight line also bisects the circle .
A semicircle is the figure contained by the diameter and the circumference cut off by it . And the centre of the semicircle is the same as that of the circle .
Rectilineal figures are those which are contained by straight lines , trilateral figures being those contained by three , quadrilateral those contained by four , and multilateral those contained by more than four straight lines .
Of trilateral figures , an equilateral triangle is that which has its three sides equal , an isosceles triangle that which has two of its sides alone equal , and a scalene triangle that which has its three sides unequal .

And let quadrilaterals other than these be called trapezia .
