Proposition: Prop. 10.019: Product of Rational Numbers is Rational

Euclid's Formulation

The rectangle contained by rational straight lines (which are) commensurable in length is rational.

• For let the rectangle $AC$ have been enclosed by the rational straight lines $AB$ and $BC$ (which are) commensurable in length.
• I say that $AC$ is rational.
