SECTION 23. ANGLE-SIDE-ANGLE 113Figure 23.3: Illustration of proof of existence of construction of triangle ona base, theorem 23.3.Figure 23.4: Illustration of proof of uniqueness of construction of a triangleon a base, theorem 23.3.Uniqueness. To show that F is unique, suppose that there is a second pointH such that △DEF ∼ = △DEH.Since ∠DEF = ∠DEH, H ∈ −→ EG (uniqueness of ray constructed by angleconstruction postulate).Since △DEF ∼ = △DEH, then EF = EH. Hence H = G, because of theuniqueness part of the ruler postulate.Revised: 18 Nov 2012 « CC BY-NC-ND 3.0.
