I. 33, 34.

73. If a quadrilateral have two of its opposite sides parallel, and the two others equal but not parallel, any two of its opposite angles are together equal to two right angles.

74. If a straight lino which joins the extremities of two equal straight lines, not parallel, make the angles on the same side of it equal to each other, the straight line which joins the other extremities will be parallel to the first.

75. No two straight lines drawn from the extremities of the base of a triangle to the opposite sides can possibly bisect each other.

76. If the opposite sides of a quadrilateral arc equal it is a parallelogram.

77. If the opposite angles of a quadrilateral are equal it is a parallelogram.

78. The diagonals of a parallelogram bisect each other.

79. If the diagonals of a quadrilateral bisect each other it is a parallelogram.

80. If the straight line joining two opposite angles of a parallelogram bisect the angles the four sides of the parallelogram are equal.

81. Draw a straight line through a given point such that the part of it intercepted between two given parallel straight lines may be of given length.

82. Straight lines bisecting two adjacent angles of a parallelogram intersect at right angles.

83. Straight lines bisecting two opposite angles of a parallelogram are either parallel or coincident.

84. If the diagonals of a parallelogram are equal all its angles are equal.

85. Find a point such that the perpendiculars let fall from it on two given straight lines shall be respectively equal to two given straight lines. How many such points are there?

86. It is required to draw a straight line which shall be equal to one straight line and parallel to another, and be terminated by two given straight lines.

87. On the sides AB, BC, and CD of a parallelogram ABCD three equilateral triangles arc described, that on BC towards the same parts as the parallelogram, and those on AB,CD towards the opposite parts: show that the
