Proposition: Prop. 10.025: Rationality of Rectangle Contained by Medial Straight Lines Commensurable in Square

Euclid's Formulation

The rectangle contained by medial straight lines (which are) commensurable in square only is either rational or medial.

• For let the rectangle $AC$ be contained by the medial straight lines $AB$ and $BC$ (which are) commensurable in square only.
• I say that $AC$ is either rational or medial.
