Proposition: Prop. 8.23: If First of Four Numbers in Geometric Progression is Cube then Fourth is Cube

(Proposition 23 from Book 8 of Euclid's “Elements”)

If four numbers are in continued proportion, and the first is cube, then the fourth will also be cube.

• Let $A$, $B$, $C$, $D$ be four numbers in continued proportion, and let $A$ be cube.
• I say that $D$ is also cube.
