Proposition III.33

On a given straight line to describe a segment of a circle admitting an angle equal to a given rectilineal angle.

Proof

Let be the given line and the given angle. At , construct (I.23). At , draw (I.11). At the midpoint of (I.10), draw (I.11), meeting at . With as centre and as radius (= by the perpendicular bisector property), describe a circle. By III.32, the inscribed angle in the alternate segment to on this circle equals .
