Proposition: Prop. 10.096: Side of Area Contained by Rational Straight Line and Sixth Apotome

(Proposition 96 from Book 10 of Euclid's “Elements”)

If an area is contained by a rational (straight line) and a sixth apotome then the square root of the area is that (straight line) which with a medial (area) makes a medial whole.

• For let the area $AB$ have been contained by the rational (straight line) $AC$ and the sixth apotome $AD$.
• I say that the square root of area $AB$ is that (straight line) which with a medial (area) makes a medial whole.
