In [3] H. Schwerdtfeger embedded the one-dimensional affine group over the real numbers in the projective plane. The relationship between group-theoretical properties and geometrical concepts was studied.

In this paper the methods of [3] are used to prove Pappus' theorem. In the final section we give a similar theorem for (4n+2)-gons.

This paper is a generalization of part of my master's thesis, written under the direction of Professor H. Schwerdtfeger.
