Proposition: Prop. 10.114: Area contained by Apotome and Binomial Straight Line Commensurable with Terms of Apotome and in same Ratio
Euclid's Formulation
If an area is contained by an apotome, and a binomial whose terms are commensurable with, and in the same ratio as, the terms of the apotome then the square root of the area is a rational (straight line).
