              <s id="A18-1.17.02">Thus we assume similarly situated points on the sphere and draw, starting from them towards other points situated inside the figure, lines and extend them.</s>
              <s id="A18-1.17.03">When we have done this, a solid figure forms from these lines, which is equal and similar to the one first assumed.</s>
