Ἐπίπεδος γωνία ἐστὶν ἡ ἐν ἐπιπέδῳ δύο γραμμῶν ἁπτομένων ἀλλήλων καὶ μὴ ἐπʼ εὐθείας κειμένων πρὸς ἀλλήλας τῶν γραμμῶν κλίσις. ὅταν δὲ αἱ περιέχουσαι τὴν γωνίαν γραμμαὶ εὐθεῖαι ὦσιν, εὐθύγραμμος καλεῖται ἡ γωνία. ὅταν δὲ εὐθεῖα ἐπʼ εὐθεῖαν σταθεῖσα τὰς ἐφεξῆς γωνίας ἴσας ἀλλήλαις ποιῇ, ὀρθή ἐστιν ἑκατέρα τῶν ἴσων γωνιῶν, καὶ ἡ ἐφεστηκυῖα εὐθεῖα κάθετος καλεῖται, ἐφʼ ἣν ἐφέστηκεν.
