COROLLARY (Lat. corollarium, a gift or donation over and above what is due), a conclusion or consequence drawn from something already advanced or demonstrated. Thus, it being demonstrated that a triangle which has two equal sides has also two angles equal, it follows as a corollary, that a triangle which has three sides equal has also its three angles equal.
