Proposition: Prop. 10.013: Commensurable Magnitudes are Incommensurable with Same Magnitude

(Proposition 13 from Book 10 of Euclid's “Elements”)

If two magnitudes are commensurable, and one of them is incommensurable with some magnitude, then the remaining (magnitude) will also be incommensurable with it.

• Let $A$ and $B$ be two commensurable magnitudes, and let one of them, $A$, be incommensurable with some other (magnitude), $C$.
• I say that the remaining (magnitude), $B$, is also incommensurable with $C$.
