Lemma: Lem. 10.032: Constructing Medial Commensurable in Square II

(Lemma to Proposition 32 from Book 10 of Euclid's “Elements”)

Let $ABC$ be a right-angled triangle having the (angle) $A$ a right angle. And let the perpendicular $AD$ have been drawn.

• I say that the (rectangle contained) by $CBD$ is equal to the (square) on $BA$, and the (rectangle contained) by $BCD$ (is) equal to the (square) on $CA$, and the (rectangle contained) by $BD$ and $DC$ (is) equal to the (square) on $AD$, and, further, the (rectangle contained) by $BC$ and $AD$ [is] equal to the (rectangle contained) by $BA$ and $AC$.
