📐 Triangles on Equal Base (Euclid I.37)
Triangles on the same base and between the same parallels are equal in area.
Proof: Let $\\\\triangle ABC$ and $\\\\triangle DBC$ have base $BC$ and vertices $A, D$ on a line parallel to $BC$.
Construct parallelograms $ABCE$ and $DBCF$ by drawing parallels.
By Euclid I.35, these parallelograms are equal.
Each triangle is half its parallelogram (Euclid I.34).
Therefore $\\\\triangle AB...
