Topic: opposite angles of quadrilateral are equal
Attila Vajda (Jun 27 2024 at 09:57):
Hi! I'm trying to prove, and understand this statement:
"1. Let ABCD be a quadrilateral. If the opposite sides of ABCD are pairwise equal, then the opposite angles are pairwise equal."
Can LEAN be used to reason about this? Or to gain insight into this problem?
Thanks

What you need is basically the SSS congruence rule. I don't think it's in Mathlib, but it shouldn't be hard to conclude from the law of cosines, which is docs#InnerProductGeometry.norm_sub_sq_eq_norm_sq_add_norm_sq_sub_two_mul_norm_mul_norm_mul_cos_angle . Or maybe it's easier to reflect across AC and BD, I'm not sure

For congruence, first we need to get #7478 into mathlib (the PR requires further work). Then, the original !3#18214 included additional congruence material specific to the Euclidean context, which would need to be ported (or rewritten) for Lean 4 and also got ready for mathlib.
