(In the text below, some words are omitted. These have been underlined. Click just above the line. See what happens.)
Angles BAP and CAQ are
and hence equal. Triangles BAP and CAQ are
with equal base angles at A. The other pair of the
angles are also equal. I.e.,
(The terms you met: Vertical angles, Alternate angles, Transversal, Isosceles triangle)
